Last we heard, Apple just last month noted that Apple Music had 36 million subscribers, which is to say the company\u2019s streaming service saw a 5% bump in users in just about four weeks time. All in all, it\u2019s an impressive showing for a service that was incredibly frustrating to use when it first launched a few years back.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The big question, though, remains whether or not Apple Music will ever be able to eclipse Spotify. As it stands now, Spotify currently boasts more than 70 million paying subscribers and more than 159 million active users, the majority of which take advantage of the company\u2019s ad-supported tier. Clearly, Apple still has a lot of ground to make up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Spotify\u2019s enormous lead over Apple notwithstanding, some industry observers believe that Apple Music may catch up to and overtake Spotify in just a few months because it appears to be growing at a much faster clip. Whereas Apple Music is currently growing by 5% every month, Spotify is said to be growing it subscriber base by about 2% every month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">As a final point of interest, Apple recently revealed that Rihanna is the most streamed female artist on Apple Music, edging out popular acts such as Beyonce and Taylor Swift.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/bgr.com\/2018\/03\/12\/apple-music-vs-spotify-subscribers-38-million-eddy-cue\/<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/apple-music-now-boasts-38-million-subscribers.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple Music now boasts more than 38 million subscribers Apple Music may have gotten off to a shaky start, but the streaming service now boasts more than 38 million subscribers according to a recent statement from Apple executive Eddy Cue.
