Apple Music Crosses 100M Song Barrier

Apple Music crossed a huge milestone, offering 100 millionth song on its eye-and-ear-popping the streaming service.

The music giant tells that internal data indicates Apple Music reached the heady mark this week.

Every day, 20,000 singers and songwriters release music on the service.

It's a huge, huge number, Rachel Newman, Apple's global head of editorial and content, told the AP. It really is possible to create music and record it and release it more than ever before in the history of music, which we think is pretty incredible.

Apple Music says the milestone cements it as the world's largest catalog of music, more than YouTube Music's 80 million songs, Spotify's 82 million tracks and podcasts, and Amazon Music's 90 million songs.
