„Roddy Ricch’s breakout, “The Box,” was the year’s biggest and most popular single, accumulating more than 460 million Apple Music streams worldwide to date

Meanwhile Spotify's most streamed song this year was The Weeknd's Blinding Lights with over 1.6B streams gained this year

And his album is around 1.5B streams WW according to that link. Interesting tbh. I wish they would give us the numbers till the first 50 songs at least. 
 

and WAP and Savage together is 300M which is cool.

From what I know is Apple Music only a factor in the US.

Europe doesn't know and doesn't claim the good sis.

 

But nice that we finally have some data

[OrgVisual]

Yes Spotify has like around 50-55% of the market share in the US market

i- 

[BtDecember]

Is that why they don’t release daily official numbers?

 

I can’t believe they cannot replicate iTunes’ success. But being #2 is not bad at all.

[Jude]

No wonder why they don't show streaming  numbers LMAO. 

[Epica]

PANNED.

AM has 72 milllion users , Spotify has 320 MILLIONS where 144 million pays for the service. So roughly 60% of users has free version which has quite a few limits forcing its users to listen to Spotify curated playlists, which benefits a couple of artists with TTH exposure

I-

I guess it’s only a factor in the US and maybe in the UK. I mean, those are the only countries I’ve seen people using it...

It’s almost like one of the services has a free tier.

This explains so much about the charts, Hip hop heavily dominates on AM for some reason and the US chart reflects that.

[chaneloberlin]

How bad the numbers must look for the pop girls if their AM runs are so dreadful song on the platform and the biggest song is only 460M worldwide 

 

I don't think y'all want those numbers either

[Yuanyu]

The Box AM WW is 460M

The Box Spotify charts US is 401M (jan-nov) 

 

WAP and Savage AM WW is 300M

WAP and Savage Spotify charts  US is 347 (jan-nov)

if anything it means people with disposable income (people who aint broke) like hiphop and arihanna more than the big pop hits that people with no money who voluntarily spend time listening to ads for a free 30 minute streaming session.

 

being big on am = more money.

False equivalence.

Why would anyone use that inferior service that is Apple Music tho? 

I tried it for a month and the fact that even most used buttons are hidden is absolutely disgusting. Imagine having to click on a sub menu just so I can shuffle my playlist

AM’s audio quality is discernibly better. I agree Spotify remains the better platform overall, though.

Only the mobile app has those limits though. You can still listen to whatever you want on the desktop app / web player with a free account but 30 sec ads will pop up from time to time. But I agree that it's really easy to cheat the system by having a song on TTH and making it one of the few playable songs on the playlist (unless it's random and songs change with every shuffle).

But... Spotify has more paying users than AM

I'm wondering about the Amazon Music numbers considering it is fastest growing streaming platform in the USA and Taylor is the most streamed artist there.
