Relative to the number of preinstalls, this accomplishment is incredibly poor.
So, so desperate to troll on Apple. LOL. Let's look at your claim that Apple Music is doing incredibly poor.
Apple zoomed to number 2 in the entire world, at a faster growth rate than Spotify, has millions more songs, is available in more countries and now has probably 60 MILLION or more PAID users in a short period of time. All the while paying artists much more than Spotify! Spotify has hemorrhaged money and only long term hope of survival is to get someone to buy them out.
That's called WINNING !
WINNING => SPINNING It may be beyond your attention, but AM is all about massive cross-subsidization (staff, licenses, offices, server, bandwidth). As per Jimmy Iovine’s grievance, AppleMusic can’t even exist on its own without Apple’s deep pockets. Depending on the definition of music streaming as a separate business, that situation of unfair competition would even be illegal in most parts of the world.
Oh, and about Apple Music paying artists... that’s merely billions of Apple users (not just AM subs) - even me, as a Sootify subscriber - supporting Apple to pay artists ?
If you consider 60 mio relative to installed base a great “accomplishment” it says more about your own standards. Go learn math.
