Albums to start being released on a Fridays

Quote:

BBC Radio 1's Official Chart Show could move from its usual Sunday slot, following changes to music release dates.

The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) announced today (February 26) that all albums and singles will be released at 12.01am on Fridays around the world from later this year.

The Official Charts Company has stated that it will now "also be looking to move the UK chart announcement day".

"Exact details are to be decided, but Radio 1 will continue to be the home of the Official Chart."

The majority of new releases come out on Mondays in the UK, with the chart finalised at midnight on Saturday night/Sunday morning.

The changes would mean that a Thursday chart announcement would fairly reflect the week's best-sellers.

:umm2:

Oh, I hate it. That would be ****, having the chart on a Thursday too? (Not that I even give a **** about the top 40 but still)

yeah, i don't like the idea of it being midweek, that really annoys me :umm2:

This is stupid af but I guess it means no waiting for albums
