Apple Music has over 36m worldwide subscribers

Apple Music has surpassed 36m worldwide subscribers (which, by the way, is still about half the size of Spotify’s equivalent premium audience).

The last semi-official announcement from Apple Music arrived when Jimmy Iovine confirmed the service had topped 30m subscribers at the end of September last year. The latest news, reported by the "Wall Street Journal", means that the streaming platform has since added 6m subs in under five months – just over 1.2m every four weeks.

On the other hand, Daniel Ek’s company announced it had reached 70m paying subscribers last month. That meant that it had added an average of 2m subscriber per month across an unbroken 10 month period.
