Soundnet, supplier of music to the UK’s jukeboxes, is realigning its service to keep pace with significant changes in the global music industry.

New Music Fridays

The global music industry is uniting behind New Music Fridays, a new coordinated release day for music around the world – and, through its partnership with the Official Charts Company, Soundnet’s offer to jukeboxes will also be changing to realign its weekly update – from Sunday to Friday.

“We are committed to ensuring that our customers get the best possible service, so we will be providing a Friday chart update for online jukeboxes,” said Soundnet’s James Luck.

“This new chart, with content ready for the weekend, and an extra download per week will mean online jukeboxes will make more money. In addition there is also still a special ‘six months free’ rental deal on Milestones In Music still available. Anyone wishing to benefit from this should contact us now.”

Giles Jones, head of commercial at the Official Charts Company, added: “New Music Fridays create a weekly opportunity to re-ignite excitement and a sense of occasion around the release of new music.

"Kicking off the weekend with new official charts can only increase awareness and consumption, which in turn benefit our partners, retailers and, above all, the consumer.”
