Remember when music was released on Tuesday’s? Now it’s a thing of the past, with new albums dropping on Friday’s!

Music was originally released on Tuesday’s internationally, however Tuesday in other countries was in a different time zone leading to music being leaked early in the United States, according newmusicfridays.com. Now that the music release date has changed it has helped prevent some of these industry mishaps.

New releases had a greater chance of getting leaked the weekend before the initial release on the following Tuesday, according to National Public Radio.

Adrian Strain, head of communications for the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry told National Public Radio that music could get illegally downloaded before the release date and it harmed sales.

“New Music Fridays, should give less reason for those people who can’t get the new release legally to go to illegal sites,” stated Strain to an interview with NPR.

Since there’s huge change in releasing music on Friday’s. Weekly new hits are put on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and Google Play for listeners.
