53 years after the release of their last studio album, “Let It Be”the Beatles They are making history on Billboard with their new song, “Now and Then”. Released on November 2, the song debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, marking the Beatles’ 35th Top 10 milestone and extending their record as the biggest among groups.
The rock ballad was originally written and recorded by John Lennon as a solo track, but it was never completed before his death. The unfinished song floated in limbo until Paul MCCARTNEY revived it last year with the help of Artificial Intelligence. “When we started making what will be the last Beatles record, it was a demo that John had,” McCartney said in an interview earlier this year. “We were able to take John’s voice and make it pure through this AI. Then we can mix the album, as you normally would.”.
