Fans can soon stream Beatles' music

<p>How&#39;s this for an early Christmas present? The Beatles are&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/thebeatles/status/679617771416760321" target="_blank">coming to music streaming services</a>&nbsp;this Christmas Eve.</p><p>The band is one of the most notable holdouts from the music streaming trend, but now, it&#39;s coming to Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, Rhapsody and other major services. (Video via&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8dooVupRSc" target="_blank">Apple Corps. / &#39;The Beatles&#39;</a>)</p><p>Thirteen remastered studio albums and four collection albums make up The Beatles&#39; streaming debut.</p><p>Giles Martin, the producer responsible for bringing the band&#39;s catalog to digital platforms, told&nbsp;<a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/3054965/elasticity/its-official-the-beatles-are-coming-to-spotify-apple-music-and-more?partner%3Drss" target="_blank">Fast Company</a>&nbsp;that he was waiting for streaming services to embrace higher quality audio streaming. (Video via&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGLGzRXY5Bw" target="_blank">Apple Corps. / The Beatles</a>)</p><p>But it&#39;s likely the licensing contracts were one of the most contentious parts of the deal. That&#39;s something modern artists like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQHsXMglC9A" target="_blank">Adele</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfWlot6h_JM&index=5&list=PL12E43D243BEF14F2" target="_blank">Taylor Swift</a>&nbsp;have both quarreled with streaming giants over.</p><p>The Beatles&#39; music is notoriously slow to debut on new platforms. The band didn&#39;t land on iTunes until 2010. However, it had a pretty solid start, selling 450,000 albums and 2 million singles in its first week.

Now that would be a Christmas miracle.</p><p><i>This video includes images from Getty Images.</i></p>
