Thanks to incredible technological advances in recent years, the jukebox industry has come far beyond the days where landlords had to wait a matter of weeks before getting their hands on the latest CDs to upload to their jukebox.

Customers in today’s digital age can often find new releases at the touch of a button through their own computers and mobiles, and have come to expect the same speedy service from a pub jukebox.

Hire Jukebox know that any delay in providing current chart hits can have a huge impact on the number of jukebox selections, and in turn profits, as consumers quickly move on to the next big hit. Worse still, if pubgoers can’t find the tracks they’re looking for; it may put them off even checking the jukebox on their next visit.

The effect of these rapid changes in popularity becomes even more significant considering that around 80 per cent of jukebox income typically comes from tracks from the chart and new releases category.

Understanding this, Hire Jukebox have become the only jukebox provider with an exclusive agreement with the Official Charts Company, meaning new Sunday chart entries are automatically downloaded onto our digital jukeboxes every Monday.

Going a step further, Hire Jukebox’s second set of twice-weekly updates on a Thursday includes a pre-release singles feature, where selected tracks are available to jukebox users before they are officially released. Through this service, landlords have been able to offer their customers tracks like David Guetta’s Titanium several months before they enter the charts, earning them many weeks’ worth of extra jukebox takings.

Of course this doesn’t come at the cost of ignoring the classics. These current tracks join an expansive library of over 30,000 song selections for the Milestones in Music jukebox, or an incredible seven million for the cutting-edge VenueHub model. This includes every Top 40 hit since 1952 and even the option to add special requests and local artists’ music to the back catalogue under the Venue Favourites section.
