‘New Music Fridays’ are coming: global release day launches 10th July 2015
For music fans across the world, Fridays are set to become the day for newly-released music.
The 10th of July 2015 will see the introduction of ‘New Music Fridays’, an aligned global release day for new music. The move, implemented by labels, retailers and artists internationally, means that fans in many countries will no longer have to wait for days to get access to newly-released tracks and albums.
Up until now, music has been released on different days of the week in various countries - from Mondays in markets such as France and the UK, through Tuesdays in the US and Canada and to Fridays in markets such as Australia and Germany. That will change on 10th July when new music will be released on Fridays at 00:01 local time around the world.

“The FAC welcomes any initiative that brings artists and fans closer together and the Global Release Day does just that, making sure that all fans, wherever they are in the world, can get legal access to new tracks as soon as they are released. Making Global Release Day Friday brings the additional excitement of launching major new releases in the run-up to the weekend.”

“We’re very supportive of New Music Fridays, our artists can now reach all their fans around the world on one day, a great day for discovering and sharing new music. Music is one of the truly global businesses and we have no doubt that a unified global release day is going to be a major benefit to our artists, their fans and the whole industry.”

Global release day: “think Fridays, think new music”
One month from now, music fans around the world will for the first time be able to access new albums and singles on the same day. This is a big achievement. The global release day levels the playing field for music fans internationally. It can raise awareness of newly-released tracks and albums globally. And it’s a celebration of new music on an international scale.
Today, we have revealed the “New Music Fridays” branding that will accompany this change. Most consumers today probably don’t know what day of the week new releases come out. In future, we hope it will be a case of “Think Fridays . . . think new music”.
