For if first time ever, the bands entire catalog will be av lable on streaming services. The beatles remain one of the most influential and valuable acts in the world. Streaming their music will not only generate millions of dollars each year but reintroduce john, paul, george, and ringo to millions of young music lovers. Their music defined a decade. Its been a hards day night and ive been working like a dog and a generation. Now, the beatles are again embracing revolution. You say you want a revolution oh, i need your love, babe stream their poppy melodies and giving a whole new generation a ticket to one of the greatest music catalogs in history. Its important because its the beatles. The beatles changed everything about popular music. But there was no announcement by Paul Mccartney and ringo starr, just a 35second video featuring a medley of popular songs, letting the music speak for itself. Shake it up, baby well, i find myself at times in trouble mother mary comes to me 3 all 13 original studio albums are now available on nine Major Streaming Services is. 224 songs in total, including all 20 of the number one hits. Paul mccartney, if you are all her heart. I dont care much for money, money cant buy me love its a huge validation for the streaming music industry, where revenue has jumped to nearly 1. 9 billion in 2014. Were past the tipping point. Its not about music ownership anymore, its about music access. And if you want to keep up with listeners who feel that way, and listeners tend to be younger, you need to be on streaming services. The decision comes as high profile artists like prince and taylor swift resisted the streaming revolution over loyal royalties. And adeles new album 25 has sold at least 6 million copies, despite being barred from streaming platforms. Still, the beatles, initially ready to ride the wave. This decision for the beatles in some sense is about retaining relevancy. They dont want their music to be left out. They want their music, as they did when they were first making it, to be immort8]al. Into the light of the dark black night and the give you an idea how popular the beatles still are, when they began selling on 450,000 albums in the first wee in spain, three dozen african migrants got a Big Christmas present this year. They are sharing the grand prize in the worlds richest lottery. It shells out more than 2 billion in prizes each year. Its not a winner take all. The lottery dolls out millions of smaller prizes, as well. Reporter most countries have their christmas rituals, trees, presents, maybe a religious service somewhere. In spain, though, its all about whether christmas will change your luck. Its a bit hypnotic. Spanish School Numbers singing out the numbers on lottery balls. It aint jingle bells, but in spain its the sound of christmas. And the whole country seems entranced. Some dress up for the occasion. This man says hes been waiting to get into the draw since 3 00 u in the morning. El gordo, the fat one, is the worlds richest lottery, even if the Winning Ticket isnt the biggest. It will get you about 400,000 euros, about 440,000. But this is a democratic lottery with lots of smaller prizes. In madrids real opera house this morning. The total prize money up for grabs is over 2 billion euros, about 2. 5 billion. A single ticket costs about 25, and it seems everybody is part o of a syndicate that lowers the odds. In recent years, spains unemployment has turned the lottery into a ray of financial hope, usually false hope. This year the eco;nomy is seemingly on the end, but nothing says recovery like winning the lottery. And the recent election produced no clear winner here. The lottery does at least provide an outcome. As this woman says, whoever wins the eleionct wont lift me out of poverty, but this might. And here are some fun facts. Going since 1812 and hasnt missed a year since. 75 of adult spaniards buy at least a share of ckets. A lot of them sold in a small town in the pyrenees called luck.

Sales of bicycles, fishing gear and even iced tea are all up. But fox says some retailers are at risk. Any retailer that has been marginal, meaning they have been limping along, a season like this can certainly put them out of business. Martin resnick says his store will survive but it wont make back those sales. So theyre taking the money they would have spent in our industry and spending it elsewhere. Reporter now, fox says winterpparel purchases are driven by need. This 67degree weather . On the other hand, whats bad for retailers is good for consumers, who should be able to purchase heavilydiscounted cold weather gear if not for this winter, jim, then for next year. Anna, thank you.
