Apple Surpasses
Spotify With Most
Paid US Subscribers A report in the
Wall Street Journal says that
at the end of February, Apple
had 28 million paid U.S. subscribers. Spotify had 26 million. Sources say that Apple
has had a monthly growth
rate that is 1% to 1.5% higher
than that of Spotify. Spotify's global overall users
still greatly outnumber Apple's. But Spotify's average
revenue per user is declining
even as the service continues to grow. Apple Music has also
taken the lead over
Spotify and YouTube
Premium in India. Spotify recently filed a complaint against Apple in Europe, claiming the company is operating unfairly.
