Report: AC/DC Added To Streaming Services, Including Apple Music
June 29, 2015, 9 years ago
Australian rock legends AC/DC, who began selling their music on iTunes only three years ago, will join a variety of subscription streaming music services as early as June 30th, including Spotify, Rdio and Apple’s new service, Apple Music, reports Ben Sisario of The New York Times.
AC/DC — which has sold 72 million albums in the United States alone, according to the Recording Industry Association of America — has long been one of the biggest holdouts in the digital music market. After Apple’s iTunes store opened in 2003, some major artists resisted becoming a part of it, saying that they did not like having their albums split into individual tracks to be sold. (And, whether they said so or not, these artists stood to lose lucrative CD sales if fans bought only the handful of songs they wanted, rather than a whole album.)

In live news, AC/DC is currently touring in support of their new album, Rock Or Bust. The band's next show is July 1st in Dublin, Irleand. To view the complete live itinerary, visit this location.
