Marking a milestone: Reaching 100 million songs available on our platform
In a significant leap from its humble beginnings with the iPod and iTunes, Apple Music has grown its library by a staggering 100,000 times. This expansion now offers access to the entire history, present, and future of music, making it a more democratic space for music creation and distribution.
With over 100 million songs available, any artist can release their music globally on Apple Music. This vast library represents a diverse range of artists and groups from 167 countries and regions, with approximately 100,000 new songs added daily to the service.
Apple Music's commitment to elevating artists' voices is evident in its focus on human curation. The investment in this area will be key for Apple Music in connecting artists and audiences more deeply and meaningfully. This human touch is also reflected in Apple Music's editorial playlists and recommendation algorithms, ensuring a personalised and engaging music experience for users.
To help users discover new favourites and rediscover forgotten gems, Apple Music now offers guidance and exploration opportunities across various genres. This could lead to discovering new favourite artists in unexpected places.
For those interested in delving deeper into the stories behind the songs, the new Apple Music Today series will pick a new song every day and dive into its history. This series aims to make connections between artists and fans even more meaningful.
The service is available in 167 countries and regions, making it accessible to a global audience. For press inquiries, the Apple Media Helpline can be reached at media.help@our website.
