The Beatles' Now And Then already becomes The Fab Four's most-streamed track ever in one week in the UK, the Official Charts Company can confirm today.

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr's 'last' ever song, which is currently tracking to become The Beatles' 18th Official Number 1 single, already overtakes previous record-holder Here Comes the Sun, based on just three days' worth of streaming data from this chart week.

While Here Comes the Sun, lifted from the group's 1969 album Abbey Road, previously held the title of The Beatles' most-streamed song in the UK in one week in 2021 (1.05 million streams), Now And Then blows it out of the water, racking up 3.08 million audio streams in just three days.

This means Now And Then triples Here Comes the Sun's previous audio streaming record.

Moreover, Now And Then officially becomes The Beatles' most-streamed music video in one week too.

Here Comes the Sun tallied 172,000 across a seven-day period in 2019, while Now And Then boasts an incredible 1.45 million UK video streams over three days this week; an eight-fold increase on the previous record-holder.
