The Beatles have made music history again with their new single Now and Then.

The Beatles have topped the charts with their “final” track ‘Now And Then’ – six decades after they secured their first Number One.Released earlier this month, the track was billed as the last song from the Fab Four and stemmed from an old John Lennon demo tape – completed by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr with the help of AI.It also came alongside both a short video documenting their time completing the project and a Peter Jackson-directed music video that included previously unearthed footage of the band.Now it has been confirmed that the long-awaited track has gone on to top the charts – 60 years since the band claimed their first Number One track.This feat means that McCartney and co. now boast the longest period between an artist’s first and last Number One single – with their first being ‘From Me to You’ in May 1963 (60 years and six months ago).

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music The path from TikTok phenom to career artist is a challenging one, and while Victoria Beverly Walker — a.k.a. 22-year-old British singer-songwriter PinkPantheress — has navigated it far better than most, a big test comes with “Heaven Knows,” her first conventional full-length album.

However, when he first began implementing the explosions, he looked out at the crowd and was left on edge to see a “90-year-old woman in the front row”.“It’s a big song for us.

But it’s now expected to climb to Number One when Friday’s (November 10) Official Singles Chart is announced.It could also mean the band’s first chart-topping single in 54 years, with the last being 1969’s ‘The Ballad Of John And Yoko’.The track came to light thanks to a demo tape recorded by late bandmate John Lennon, completed by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr along with the help of AI which lifted the songwriter’s vocals off the initial recording.The project was first teased by McCartney back in June when he confirmed that he was working on a new track with the drummer, which would serve as the “final” song of the band’s discography.Starr recently shared that working on the single was “like having John Lennon back”.Jackson’s visual accompaniment also includes archived footage of the Fab Four.

“Now and Then”arrives like a gift from that glorious Abbey Road in the sky on Thursday — despite the fact that John Lennon and George Harrison died in 1980 and 2001, respectively, leaving surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to finish the long-buried track on the right side of the dirt.And if you think that it’s the result of some magical mystery trickery of AI defiling the sacred ground that is the Beatles back catalog, thankfully, you’d be wrong.While “the last Beatles song” certainly benefits from advancements in technology that allowed it to finally be released — five decades after Lennon wrote and recorded the demo at his Dakota residence on New York’s Central Park West in the ’70s — “Now and Then” is a real Beatles tune that feels like it somehow got stuck in some mop-topped time warp before the “Imagine” singer was murdered in 1980. It’s a nostalgic trip back to the Baby Boomer glory days of yesteryear.
