“Apple has kicked off a worldwide advertising campaign for its new streaming music service, with advertisements showing up in various cities like San Francisco, Tokyo, Toronto, Los Angeles, and Mexico City,” Juli Clover reports for MacRumors.
“The banners mimic images that have been used to advertise Apple Music on Apple’s website,” Clover reports, “featuring desaturated pictures of artists overlaid with the Apple Music logo in a variety of different fonts.”
“As Apple begins heavily advertising Apple Music around the world, Billboard has announced that songs streamed from Apple Music will now count towards the Billboard 200 and the Billboard Hot 100,” Clover reports. “Apple was recently added as a streaming provider and Apple Music songs will influence the August charts.”
