Amazon Music is growing: Now over 55 million subscribers
Music streaming services continue to become increasingly popular, thanks to being ever-larger catalogs. Amazon Music breaks the 55 million mark by approaching Apple Music, but Spotify remains firmly in the lead.
Amazon has announced that it has exceeded 55 million subscribers for its Amazon Music streaming service: this is a result that brings Amazon closer to the competitor Apple in this service.
We do not have updated data for the Apple Music service in terms of subscriptions; we must refer to the 60 million declared by the American company last June. During the second half of the year, this figure certainly increased but not to a marked extent to distance the number of Amazon Music subscribers.
In any case, the market leader in this type of service remains Spotify. The Swedish company announced last September that it had reached 113 million paying subscribers to its audio streaming service.
Amazon Music Unlimited is offered on a monthly subscription for $9.99, with the option of a family subscription for $14.99 per month with which you can manage up to 6 accounts. Spotify offers a mirror service at the same list prices, with the addition of the student option at $4.99 per month: Apple Music offers the same services like Spotify with identical price lists.
Amazon Music has the alternative option to purchasing the service not only monthly but also with an annual subscription: in this case, you save 17%, effectively paying the cost of 10 months for a 12-month service.
