Is Hey Jude The Most Popular Beatles Tune? Bet On It.
With the prospect of all 'The Beatles' songs soon to be made available to the download market, bookmakers William Hill are betting on which Beatles song will be the first to make it to number 1, which could provide a definitive answer to the age old debate, What is the best Beatles Song?
The early money puts Hey Jude some way ahead of the opposition with the bookies halving the price from 8/1 to 4/1.
"There can be little doubt that when the Beatles back catalogue becomes available for download, they will have a string of number 1's and we believe that the song that is number one first has a valid claim to be most popular Beatles song of all time. Hey Jude already looks hard to beat, but we have also seen money for She Loves You, Love Me Do and Help," said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.
