Apple Music or Spotify, That is the question. Two services that have changed the landscape of the music industry. Do you remember when large stands were put up in shopping centers with the best-selling records? Now everything goes through the charts of these streaming music services, some services that we like or not are the ones that keep the industry musical.
And I say that probably many do not like it very much because now artists earn what these services want, yes, we cannot forget that this is something that has always happened with record companies, the bad thing is that where before they ate two Now they eat four, forgive me the expression. But not everything is going to be bad news ... Every time I know more people who register as users premium in streaming multimedia services, as premium, understanding that they do not enjoy, if any, free subscriptions. And this in the end shows ... The latest reports provide that Apple Music and Spotify would have contributed to the music industry 7 billion US dollars.
7 billion dollars, which is said soon, during the year 2016. Figures that are obtained by combining the 40 million paying Spotify users, premium, along with the 20 million Apple Music users, remember that in the latter there is only the payment option. And all this assuming that subscribers spend about $ 10 on average per month for your subscriptions.
Today's data are quite good, and we cannot fail to take into account that although it is difficult to reach 40 billion that were generated in the 90s, nowadays they are quite good results considering that We come from a few years when it was hard to believe that someone would pay to listen to music seeing how easy it was to get it for free ... So good for these services, let's change the mindset and pay for what we consume.
