Quite a popular way to add a soundtrack to whatever you are doing.ĭo you listen to music? Dude, what kind of question is that? Everyone listens to music. They are so much together that we cannot imagine these two separated for even a single day of ours. Art is so closely aligned to reality that it is impossible to separate the two things. There is probably not a single day when any person is away from art. YouTube is a powerful brand name, and with the right level of enticing advertising, it could leverage this audience into a subscribership to rival that of Spotify and Apple.The quote quoted above is probably my most favourite. Google’s challenge is to get those free listeners onto the free version of YouTube Music and then-as Spotify has done-turn them into paying users. YouTube sees 1.8 billion visitors each month, mostly watching videos and “listening” to music (via music videos) for free. Under this new YouTube Music branding, it’s possible that could change. To date, however, Google has been unable to lure music fans onto its platforms. It’s clear that streaming music is a popular space, but based on these companies’ growth numbers-Spotify, for example, added 4 million new subscribers in the past three months-there is room for another entrant to get a slice of that pie.

The major question left to answer is: Who exactly is this music service for? Counting its free live radio listeners, Apple Music boasts more than 50 million subscribers Spotify is even bigger, with 75 million paying listeners and 170 million people using the service on a monthly basis.
