The Beatles did break up 53 years ago you know.
Nevertheless they’ve been welcomed back most heartily.
On YouTube, their new song “Now and Then” has around 25 million views between the Peter Jackson video and the official audio that just plays the song.
Spotify has “Now and Then” at over 8 million streams so far.
Actual physical sales numbers won’t start coming in til Tuesday.
Meantime, “Now and Then” is in heavy rotation on the Beatles channel on SiriusXM 18. I’m waiting til they pair it with “No Reply,” which it echoes (at least for me).
PS Note to Beatles and Peter Jackson: no more please. This was enough.
