Apple Music outperforms Spotify in the United States: report

Apple Music demonstrates its power in just three years of existence.

According to the site specializing in the music industry Digital Music News, Apple Music and Spotify have in the United States about 20 million subscribers each, with a slight advantage for the firm's Internet service of Cupertino.

Digital Music News said to have obtained the figure of a "main distributor" in the United States, and to keep its anonymous source, asked not to give exact figures in its report. However, he reiterates that Apple Music is ahead of Spotify in the United States

Digital Music News does not have a clean record of reports, but this time it is supported by The Wall Street Journal which advanced in February that Apple Music was growing in the US at a rate of 5% per month, and Spotify at 2%.

The growth of Apple Music in number of subscribers is understandable because it does not offer free version with advertising, something that Spotify offers and where it has the largest number d & # 39; users.

Spotify has a user base (counting the free and paid version) of 170 million, according to official figures; Apple already exceeds 40 million subscribers .

Apple and Spotify did not respond immediately to CNET's request for comments in Spanish.
