That assumes every Apple Music user is on their 3 month free trial at the same time. This 3 month trial won't even be a consideration in a year, as the majority of users will be past theirs. In reality, at any given moment a small percentage of users will be in the free trial period (excluding the first 3 months of the service being generally available).
- busterarm 11y agoWell, 100% of users will be on a 3 month trial the first year that they use a service, so it doesn't matter when it happens. For any successful service, the number of those users should grow YoY, at least for a while. (We're growing so fast, the number of people listening to your album for free has an exponential growth curve! SEE? WE'RE CRUSHING IT!) Most artists aren't successful (if even) for more than a few years at best. The lifespan of their albums even less so. (Some old data: http://frumin.net/ation/2008/05/climb_the_charts_schmimb_the_charts.html http://frumin.net/ation/2008/05/climb_the_charts_schmimb_the... ) Okay, it might matter when it happens: It might be really catastrophic to release your album right when the service starts (actually it sounds like Ms. Swift is pretty smart now, eh?). Though then you might want to hold off for a whole year entirely. Hold on now, why is Apple dictating the release schedule of my albums? I thought they weren't a record label... ...oh wait.
