Major players Spotify and Universal are now best mates, shaking things up in the streaming sector of the music industry.
 

So you’re the one in your group who hustles the newest artists and album releases on free Spotify? Not anymore. How long will the delay be on albums, you ask? Up to two weeks man.
 

FYI, Universal houses Yeezy, Kendrick, Drake & The Weeknd. If there was ever a time to upgrade to premium and pay that $10 per month, it’s now. In saying that, you’d be falling right into their greasy hands, making more money for both said streaming service & music label.
 

The good news is that singles are still available for all listener tiers, straight up.
While we don’t know if Warner and Sony will follow suit, it’s looking likely with Spotify’s 50m users and their ability to set trends via ‘Discover Weekly‘ playlists. No fronting, we’ve all had a suss there for some new tunes.
