In the wake of the Apple Music announcement , record labels and artists have been appreciative of Apple ’s industry - gamy revenue - share-out whirl ( Apple is offering artists 71.5 % of revenues , versus a standard 70 % ) , but label — in picky those represent indie artist — blasted the company ’s decision not to pay artists anything during customers ’ three - calendar month barren tribulation .

Although Apple argued that the higher revenue share would lead to greater payouts over fourth dimension , artists worried that anyone releasing a new album during the first three months of Apple Music ’s existence would incur diddly squat .

Although this is a vainglorious win for Ms Swift , there ’s a few questions that still want answering : namely , will 1989 now be usable on Apple Music , and how much tax revenue will Apple be sharing with artist during the 3 - month trial full point ?
