Apple Music brings you the world’s music with more than 30 million tracks, handpicked recommendations based on the music you listen to and love, worldwide radio with Beats 1, and more.
In this age where we have seen the rise of the music streaming industry, we were bound to see one of these giants go down in a blaze or become annexed with one of their own. As we watch the later happen, we can’t be too surprised to see this unfold.
Apple purchased Beats back in April of 2014 for about three billion dollars. Soon after, the heads behind Beats and Apple came together to create Apple’s very own music streaming app; what became Apple Music. Since then, Apple Music has garnered 15 million subscribers with 6.5 of them paying for the service. Although it falls second to Spotify, the end could result in Apple Music surging with a huge upper hand and coming close to Spotify’s numbers or even top them.
