Beatles Downloads Will the Beatles ever appear on iTunes?
Apr 15
Despite there only being two of the Fab Four left alive today,  bookmakers are already betting on which of the records in the Beatles back catalogue will be their next No 1 single once their music becomes available for legal download on iTunes or some other digital download platform,A recent surge in the betting for this has arisen after the various rumours and media coverage that the Beatles’s back catalogue will be made available to download. Hey Jude, which was originally a chart-topper in September 1968 is the 4/1 favourite down from 8/1 to top the charts again whilst Love Me Do, No 1 in 1962, also popular at 10/1.
As well as the Beatles music becoming available digitialy, the back catalogue has also be made available to use in TV Adverts, meaning more and more people having a flutter on the prosepect of a Beatles No 140 years on.

The first of the Beatles’ songs confirmed for use in an advert is All You Need Is Love, which first appeared on the Magical Mystery Tour album and was first performed by the Beatles on Our World, the first ever live world-wide TV satellite link-up, and reached an audience of 350 million people in 1967. The song is a 12/1 shot after first appearing at 25/1.

As a slightly different angle to the betting, some bookies are offering odds of 10/1 that the Beatles will have all ten tracks in the top ten at some point this year, something that will undoubtedly be strengthed if the combination of their use in TV ads and iTunes availability ever becomes a reality.
