From CNET: Spotify hit 83 million subscribers at the end of the last month, the streaming-music company said Thursday.
That remains bigger than its closest competitor, Apple Music, which had 40 million as of April. Spotify's growth also came in at the high end of a range Spotify predicted in its May outlook.
In the midst a larger cultural shift to streaming as the most common way people listen to tunes, Apple Music and Spotify have emerged as the leaders in a two-way race to dominate subscription music. Though Spotify remains the biggest streaming service by both listeners and subscribers, Apple Music reportedly has been outstripping Spotify's growth in the US, the world's biggest market for recorded music.
Apple didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
