Impressive mark of 100 million songs on Apple Music

100 million is an impressive number, demonstrating that Apple, despite the high cost of its devices, is a very targeted platform, whether it be users or artists who publish their music. Its quantity and growth over the years clearly shows this evolution, as stated in the blog post:

“In the 1960s, only 5,000 new albums were released every year. Today, anywhere in the world, in 167 countries and regions on Apple Music, any artist of any type can write and record a song and release it worldwide. Every day, more than 20,000 singer-songwriters add new music to Apple Music—songs that make our catalog even better than yesterday. One hundred million songs is evidence of a more democratic space, where anyone, even a new artist, makes music in his bedroom. could be the next big thing.”

The company also demonstrates that despite continued growth, it is not relinquishing human control over what comes to the platform. Because it is important for her to give voice to many artists around the world:

“We also know that it’s more important than ever to raise the voice of artists and give them the opportunity to tell their own stories and contextualize their music. It is no longer enough to simply connect artists and fans, it is necessary to make these connections deeper and stronger. meaningful.” And just one of the many ways we help provide context is with the new Apple Music Today series, where we’ll pick a new song every day and dive into its story because we know that each of the 100 million songs in our catalog have my history”.

The attraction is really impressive to give you an idea, Spotify, which is one of Apple Music’s biggest competitors today, with about 80 million in its catalog today.
