Apple Music Joins Music Industry's Blackout Tuesday Awareness Campaign
Apple Music has cancelled its Beats 1 radio schedule for Blackout Tuesday and is suggesting that listeners tune in to a radio stream celebrating the best in black music.
Blackout Tuesday is a campaign organized by the music industry to support Black Lives Matter after Minneapolis citizen George Floyd was killed by police in the course of his arrest.
On launching Apple Music, many users on Mac and iOS devices are today being met with a message replacing the usual For You, Browse, and Radio sections, along with a Listen Together button that links to the aforementioned station.
In steadfast support of the Black voices that define music, creativity, and culture, we use ours.
This moment calls upon us all to speak and act against racism and injustice of all kinds. We stand in solidarity with Black communities everywhere.
#TheShowMustBePaused
#BlackLivesMatter
Otherwise, the Apple Music service is operating as usual. Users are still able to access their music library and search the Apple Music catalog.
Following the unrest in numerous U.S. cities after last week's killing of George Floyd, Apple CEO
Tim Cook on Sunday
addressed the pain that many are feeling and urged others to commit "to creating a better, more just world for everyone."
