If that is all it is, I would bet money that the Beatles powers-that-be requested this kind of hype/announcement as part of the agreement. I'm sure Apple is more current and knows better.

I agree with this.

I predict everyone will download at least one Beatles tune as long as they end up as a Free Single of the Week.

But then, I can see the complaining comments now: "This free song sounds so old! You call this pop? C'mon iTunes can't you get any good bands? Who wants to listen to a band named after a bug?"

I don't agree with this. I own enough Beatles stuff, and don't listen to it much at all anymore. I have no reason to download more just because it's on iTunes.

ok ive been thinking and my hope has been revived :D

im thinking its not JUST the beatles....they are just a side not the really big thing, perhaps they are related to it in some way....and for some reason they just decided to use the beatles to for hints to the announcement

here's to more than JUST the beatles!!!

Think different. :D
 
This would have been big news...40 years ago. As others have mentioned, most fans already have their CDs. I can't image there is much of an interest at this time.
 
I think this would definitely be a great move for both the artists and Apple. Many younger children and teens aren't into the Beatles. Also, many teens don't buy CD's anymore but just get a few songs on iTunes. I personally own all of the Beatles' songs on CD but this would be a great move. I would be disappointed if this was the only announcement, since it really won't have an effect on me, and it definitely won't be one that I remember for the rest of my life. Maybe cloud iTunes and iOS 4.2? 90 second previews? Something we never saw coming?
 
Back to the future?

I love the Beatles. My sons, their friends and myself have all their music in our iPods, iPhones, iPads. It will not be a day that I will not forget if the Beatles is all you've got.

Give me streaming live tv, the cloud, PowerBook G5, or even an iMac and I may remember this day.

Good point. Teens have a HUGE influence on the iTunes store, I mean, just look at the top charts! My generation buys catchy music for convenience, and Beatles on iTunes is almost the exact definition of that.
 
This would be one major let down! Come on, the Beatles are good but I have not listened to them in ages nor cared about them for years now... and I have their CDs... so Beatle would be a day I would remember? Maybe as the dumbest publicity stunt...

First off I stated previously that Soundhound app gave it away w new iTunes links from Beatles songs. Second, the Beatles are and will always be the best band in the history of mankind. They more than deserve the hype.
