The Beatles land on Billboard Hot 100 with ‘Now and Then'

The Beatles are going strong on the Billboard Hot 100 after nearly 30 years with their song “Now and Then” which is called the “last Beatles song”. The song landed on the list of top 10 singles on this week’s singles chart. The song “Now and Then” features all four members, including John Lennon and George Harrison. This is the iconic band’s first chart-topper on the Billboard Hot 100 in almost 30 years.

The song has become a rage ever since it released. The song was initially recorded with John Lennon’s solo vocals, which was then remastered using Artificial Intelligence as it reimagined vocals by other members of The Beatles.

As the single released, it got over 11 million streams and 73,000 physical and digital sales following its November 2 release. The song also got an instant boost after a short film that told the story of the song was released. It showed how the song was conceptualised, delving into the mechanics of the song’s editing.
