Bookies Slash Odds On Beatles Top-10 Takeover

Bookmakers have slashed the odds on a top-10 made up complete of songs by The Beatles.

It comes after the Liverpool band’s music was made available to download for the first time on iTunes.

Bookmaker William Hill is now offering 8/1 on a top-10 takeover, down from 10/1 yesterday (November 16).

‘Hey Jude’ is 6/1 favourite to be the first single to go to number one, while ‘Here Comes The Sun’ has gone from 50/1 to 10/1.

"'Here Comes The Sun' has been surprisingly popular on iTunes and it is a contender for the favourite Beatles song of all time," said Williams Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.

Until this week, the Liverpool band had been one of the few groups to refuse to allow their music to be sold online.
