It has been less than a year and a half since Apple Music officially launched, but the short time frame hasn’t stopped it from reaching impressive highs or accruing sizable numbers. Today, in an interview with Billboard, Eddy Cue, Apple’s SVP of Internet Software and Products, and one of the main men behind the highly successful Apple Music streaming product, revealed that the relatively new platform has hit the 20 million subscriber milestone.

It is worth noting that Apple Music’s 20 million subscribers, while impressive, doesn't tell the whole story. Spotify may have 40 million subscribers, but that number only reflects those that are paying. The Swedish streaming firm actually has over 100 million users, as many of them opt to listen to the ad-supported free tier, which Apple Music does not offer. That fact should further underline how impressive Apple’s customer acquisition rate is, since the company offers less time for new potential subscribers to use the service for free and become accustomed and hooked to it than something like Spotify.
That's pretty good. And it'll keep growing. I use AM and it's great, love it.
Apple needs to fix the bit where it writes artists names in cyrillic tho, I hate it.
My library is ok but I've seen ppl complain about AM messing it up so that issue too.
