More than 50 years after they went their separate ways, the members of the Beatles are still breaking records in the U.K.
The Beatles’ A.I.-assisted “Now and Then” has broken their own record for the most-streamed track ever, racking up 3.08 million streams in its first three days of release, according to the U.K.’s Official Charts Company.
It blows the previous record holder – “Here Comes the Sun,” which was re-released in 2021 to 1.05 million streams – out of the water. It also marks the Beatles’ 18th number one single on the U.K. charts, the company confirms.
Consequently, the video has also broken a record, garnering 1.45 million streams in the U.K. over a three-day period, the Charts Company reports. That’s eight times as many streams as the previous record holder – also “Here Comes the Sun” – received over a seven-day period in 2019, officials say.
