Quick! Go and discover some new music! It’s the first New Music Friday today (although the slightly-awkward plural branding means we should say it’s ‘the first of the New Music Fridays’ really). More than 45 countries are adopting Friday as the standard release day for new music, although 11 of them already used that day.
