No matter the time of the year, getting major traction on your new releases can be difficult. However, did you know that certain months will give you a better shot than others?
The music industry is a well-oiled machine, and strategic release planning is key.
That’s why Michael Bublé becomes the man of Christmas every year!
After September/October, when emerging artists have a better chance, November/December arrives. During this time, major labels unleash their top artists to take advantage of the holiday sales peak.
If you don’t have a Christmas song or a festive track, your chances of getting noticed drop dramatically. And that’s why Bublé, who has made Christmas his personal brand, returns like clockwork every year.
The problem? Music risks becoming more and more predictable, controlled by marketing strategies rather than art.
Solution? Artists should have more freedom to experiment, without being tied to such rigid commercial rules.
What do you think? Is it fair that music is so pre-programmed?
