Apple Music: estimate of 8 million subscribers, 20 next year

Apple Musicprogress
slowly, but surely. According to some analyses, the streaming service
musical apple will reach8 million subscribersby the end
of this year and would even rise to20 millionsthe year
next, which would place it insecond positionof the
music streaming services, behind Spotify:

Concerning the latter, he counted20 million subscribers
paid
by mid-2015, with probably 10 million more for
the year 2016. The French competitorDeezeris further away
behind with almost5 million subscriberspaying.

The progress of Apple Music is thereforenot negligible
especially since the service launched in June 2015 and one of the youngest on the
walk. But with hisstrike force linked to the iPhone
in particular, there is no doubt that these figures given by the analystMark
Mulligan
would be very luckyto be verified the year
next
.

Mulligan specifies that if the apple firm encountered difficulties in
the coming months to see its number of subscribers grow, it could
alwaysrenegotiate certain contracts with labels
important
in order to reduce the monthly price, which is9,99
currently, is equivalent to the prices displayed by the
competitors Deezer and Spotify.

And then the other strong point of Apple Music is at the levelof the
exclusives obtained regularly
. The latest one was

Taylor Swift documentary film about her recent tour
. That's it
also remembers the last album ofDr Dre appeared in
worldwide exclusive on Apple Music and iTunes
.

At the same time, Apple also works with certain brands of audio equipment
dontSonos, which will soon integrate into its devices,
special access to Apple Musicwhich will include almost the entire
catalog of the streaming service as well as special recommendations.

The Apple machine is in motion on music streaming, difficult to do
face, especially when it comes to winning exclusives.

The fact remains that last July, a majority (43%) of our readers had
declaredit is
not wanting to continue using Apple's service
after the test of the 3
free months, with as one of the recurring reasons,the too much
many bugs
etorganizational problemsof the
library mixing with its own music.
