Now That the Beatles are Streaming, What Are People Listening To?

In what was a pretty poorly-kept secret, the Beatles jumped on the streaming bandwagon Christmas Eve, allowing 13 albums, four compilations and two anthologies onto Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, Tidal, Slacker, Rhapsody/Napster and the rest of them, thereby granting their endorsement and approval to the format. (By the way, here’s a list of Beatles material you still cannot stream–for now, anyway.)
