NEW YORK: The Beatles are reaching a new audience through streaming and listeners have an early verdict — “Come Together” is their favorite song from the Fab Four.

The best-selling band in history on Thursday ended a long boycott and made its catalog available through streaming, the fast-growing sector of on-demand online music.

Spotify, the largest streaming service, said that fans in the first three days had streamed Beatles songs 70 million times — which means that on average every user of the site listened to one Beatles song around the Christmas holiday.

“Come Together” was well ahead as the most popular song, with more than 2.3 million streams as of early Monday on Spotify.

While the company did not offer analysis, the bluesy rock song from 1969 was the opener on “Abbey Road,” The Beatles’ best-selling album, so it may have benefited from listeners who immediately hit play on the album.
