Are you in favor of more Apple Music radio stations?
Although Apple Music was off to a stale start before the exclusive digital release of Dr. Dre’s COMPTON album, Apple’s Beats 1 Radio has been the shining light of the service that’s killed almost all of its competition. With the three month trial experience for all iPhone users set to end at the end of September, Apple plans to add up to five additional stations like Beats 1 – without having to renegotiate its deals with the four major labels.
As Beats 1 continues to receive a strong reception from fans, critics and of course, the competition, it’s surprisingly gained praise from labels for having a higher per-play rate over rival Pandora.
While labels take a wait-and-see approach to whether the trialist members of the service continue their subscription, we’re assuming Apple is already quietly planning the multiple roll-out for additional stations of their most successful integration on the platform. The most surprising effect within the Apple brand is iTunes has seen no considerable drop off in sales, even with emergence of the Apple Music streams.
Stay tuned for more updates regarding the imminent announcement of additional stations.
