Every Friday, new music is released across the world.
This global acknowledgment of a Friday release date is a strategic move in the music industry that aims to boost sales and streams. On this day every week, your preferred streaming platform floods your feed with new music that it believes you will enjoy; however, “new music Friday” hasn’t always been the case.
New music in the United States was consistently released on Tuesdays for decades until it was switched back to Fridays around 2015 to remain consistent with the rest of the world. The potential of topping the charts on Fridays is endless for artists, allowing listeners to fully absorb the music throughout the weekend.
With March coming to its end, this week we will celebrate all of the new music released from this month.
