When it comes to streaming music, one of the names that pops up is Spotify. The service is considered the main one in the sector, all because of the large number of users it has reached in recent times. However, in the course of its trajectory, other services also emerged, which ended up threatening its hegemony.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the highlight is Apple Music, which in the United States has just overtaken Spotify in terms of paid subscribers. Sources say Apple Music had 28 million subscribers against Spotify's 26 million. The records are for the month of February.
- Apple Music will be made available for Echo devices
- YouTube Music and Premium arrive in Spain
Apple Music has seen average user growth of between 2,4% and 2,8% globally, versus "only" 2% to 2,3% for Spotify.
Apple recently introduced its movie and series streaming service, which will compete directly with Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime Video. The growth of Apple Music may indicate that the company will also be successful in streaming movies and series.
Thus, Apple will offer its services on all platforms. Therefore, according to The Wall Street Journal, it would be nothing new that the service could surpass major current competitors in the streaming market.
