ChezGiven 0 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 That been confirmed? The main mac sites were saying it was cloud/streaming for music collections. With the giant new server and the patent application for 'iTunes live' driving the predictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Think it's all still guresswork innit? If anyone I'd have thought "tomorrow is just another day" would refer to Madness rather than the Beatles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonatine 11572 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Beatles flop in chart For a band that were so far ahead of their time during a golden era of rock'n'roll, it has certainly taken The Beatles a long while to embrace the future. Music downloading has been going on for years and yet it is only now that The Fab Four's catalogue has gone online. It was announced last week that the surviving members of the group and their management firm Apple had ended a dispute stretching back to 1978 with the company of the same name to allow iTunes to get their hands on the band's glittering back catalogue. The announcement was met with many headlines and much excitement. With negotiations finally concluded, a heavyweight advertising campaign swiftly lurched into life and, with Simon Cowell clearly also on board, the contestants on this weekend's ‘X Factor' show were deployed to rework John, Paul, George and Ringo's finest moments. Yesterday's chart was braced to reflect this landmark development. Beyond the hype, however, there seems to be little more than universal apathy from the British public. While we awaited confirmation of The Beatles' favourite song via this newly signposted path, expecting to see top 10 domination in both albums and singles, nothing of the sort has taken place. Based on Sunday's chart, 'Hey Jude' is the nation's number one track. But it is also the only one to make the top 40. Just. It landed at number 40 ahead of 'Let It Be' (46), ‘Twist And Shout' (48) and ‘Here Comes The Sun' (64), while ‘In My Life', ‘Come Together', ‘Yesterday', ‘I Saw Her Standing There', ‘Eleanor Rigby' and ‘Help' all broke the top 100. For a band so used to leading the way and being number one, it's a meagre return. Following Tuesday's initial announcement, Sir Paul welcomed the news, commenting: "It's fantastic to see the songs we originally released on vinyl receive as much love in the digital world as they did the first time around." John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, said: "In the joyful spirit of ‘Give Peace A Chance', I think it is so appropriate that we are doing this in John's 70th birthday year." But they must both be disappointed by such a lacklustre debut digital showing and surely regret waiting so long to take this leap forward? It seems clear the warring parties should have struck a deal long ago, perhaps to mark Lennon's 60th rather than an anniversary a decade later. They might then also have been rewarded with a better return in the album chart, where only the ‘Red' and ‘Blue' greatest hits made the top 40. The question is, who is actually left to buy this music? While legal executives, lawyers and industry chiefs have squabbled, fans have been snapping up the songs elsewhere, either legally or illegally, potentially costing all those involved a small fortune. Could it be that The Beatles just aren't big news anymore? Looks like all the hype was worth it then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
