Apple announced today that The Beatles have joined the iTunes library after hyping up a day we would “never forget”. The press releases states,

Apple Corps, EMI and Apple today announced that the Beatles, the most influential and beloved rock band in music history, are now available for the first time on the iTunes Store (www.itunes.com). Starting today, the group’s 13 legendary remastered studio albums with iTunes LPs, the two-volume “Past Masters” compilation and the classic “Red” and “Blue” collections are available for purchase and download on iTunes worldwide as either albums or individual songs. Fans can also get a special digital “Beatles Box Set” featuring the “Live at the Washington Coliseum, 1964″ concert film, a worldwide iTunes exclusive which captures the Beatles’ very first US concert.

All Things Digital is reporting that Apple has exclusive writes of digital distribution of The Beatles “into 2011″. This is good news for fans of The Beatles but I, personally, will have no trouble forgetting this announcement.
