Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, Tidal and Amazon Prime Music began streaming 224 Beatles tracks on December 24. Other services that have secured the band's catalogue include Deezer, Microsoft Groove, Napster and Slacker Radio. The Beatles as a corporate entity have been notoriously slow in adapting to new technology. They waited five years to issue their albums on CD, and didn't talk about the download Revolution until 2010 - seven years after the iTunes store launched.
The Beatles announcement comes as a number of high-profile artists - including Neil Young, Prince, and Radiohead's Thom Yorke - have questioned the value of streaming services.
