Report claims Beatles music set to come to streaming services on Christmas Eve

Fans of legendary rock group might be in for a treat. According to sources who spoke with Billboard, Beatles’ discography is set to land on “most, if not all” streaming services by Dec. 24^th.  Fans might be able to hear “Hey Jude” by Thursday. There were rumours before that there will be a six-month “exclusive” for a known streaming service but that died out. However, this past January former Universal Music Group digital executive Rob Wells was said to restart discussions on the matter and papers were reportedly signed by mid-September. Major streaming services won’t comment about their involvement in the report. If their catalogue does show up in streaming services, we can only speculate what records the Fab Four will break.
