There is no official statement from Apple about this, but the sources from the industry have now reported a sensational little message: Apple says the US home market Spotify has overtaken and is coming for the first time on higher subscriber numbers. According to the Digital Music News report, a "major US-based distributor" provided information on the current performance of various streaming services, including Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal and Sirius XM. No other streaming service has more subscribers, only Sirius XM has more users with 33 million customers. However, this is not a clbadic streaming service, but a radio service with many different channels.
Apple Music and Spotify reach about 20 million subscribers, but Apple Music is "a bit" according to the report. Important in the information is that in fact only pay customers in statistics, but not users who have completed a free trial. Almost exactly three years after the very capricious start of Apple Music, the service was a success that no one thought possible at first.
According to the data available up to now, Spotify is unlikely to overtake Apple Music again. In addition, Apple Music's growth rates are at a higher level, so leadership will be more comfortable in the coming months. In February, the Wall Street Journal reported that Spotify added two percent new users per month, while Apple Music was five percent. Obviously, little has changed in this relationship. Worldwide, Apple Music currently targets the 50 million subscriber, Spotify to 70 million paying customers. Up to 10 million users are currently trying on Apple Music for free
