    Apple Music got a Gunna song at #2 and a Chris Brown song at #12… not exactly the greatest barometer for what’s actually popular right now when you realize 12 people use the service (me included, Spotify sucks)

    When it comes to actual subscribers Spotify is ahead of Apple Music by 7.9 million subscribers in the US. It’s the free plan that gives Spotify so many users.

    Spotify held me down at my brokest, I’ve only used apple for a handful of exclusives in the past but always immediately canceled my subscription after

    I don’t really have a preference for UI or anything so that stuff doesn’t move me, and Spotify audio quality sounds fine to me

    Globally, Spotify has 281M paid users compared to Apple Music’s 94M. Literally triple the size of it.

    I’m not even tryna hate on Apple Music, I’ve used it myself since the days it was Beats Music, but the truth is that, relatively speaking, barely anyone uses the service on a global scale

    Take Care lowkey aging better than NWTS. Hmm...

    @Jbreezyondeck

    Take Care has been Drake's best-performing catalog album for years now lol. After any new album he drops, the next highest-charting album for him is always Take Care.

    @Jbreezyondeck

    It's a better representative of the Drake x 40 sound and has stronger R&B than NWTS. The R&B was the differentiating factor between Drake and others so Take Care is a better candidate to be his defining project imo, even though NWTS has better raps.

    I noticed that niggas online tend to show more love to NWTS and claim that Take Care aged worse than it.

    Nothing you said in this post makes sense.

    Apple Music has always been more favorable for Rap and R&B. That doesn’t have anything to do with how many people use the service, but the demographic of users.

    And Apple Music isn’t “only used by 12 people” when it has over 35 million US subscribers. Just out of touch. It has a huge population of users to the point where Scorpion — the highest US streaming debut ever until 2024 had the majority of streams on Apple Music. Meaning Apple Music had the highest first week streams ever for a service.

    Nonetheless, a major artist having terrible Apple Music chart performance like SWAG 2 only having one song top 40 pretty much guarantees Spotify numbers will be mediocre too.

    You clearly don’t know what relativity is. Obviously it doesn’t have 12 users nigga it was an exaggeration

    In the grand scheme of things Apple Music has an extremely small userbase in comparison to Spotify. The service has a grand total of one song over a billion streams, nobody uses that s***.

    And again, I’m saying this as someone who has exclusively used Apple Music since it released, before you try to frame this as some weird hate

    You’re switching to global numbers despite whenever someone is talking about Apple Music it's usually the US chart. YOUR POST even referenced Gunna & Chris Brown on the US chart lmao.

    AM is a relevant streaming service in US and is closer to Spotify's popularity, albeit not exactly as popular. (Someone already said they have similar paid users in US, free users are what helps Spotify).

    So yes, it is incorrect to say nobody uses it. Not having as much users as Spotify doesn't make it irrelevant. Again, how would a service 'nobody use' hold the highest first week streams for an album on a streaming service until 2024?

    Maybe you think that because The Weeknd can’t pull heavy numbers there lmao.

    Names like Drake, Morgan Wallen, etc have pulled higher Apple Music numbers than Spotify numbers at times.

    If the biggest streaming artists in the industry can pull bigger numbers on Apple Music than Spotify at times clearly plenty of people use it.

    You would think a certain fanbase that thinks streaming numbers are so easily faked would be more interested in these

    Thanks for posting them, they are very interesting
