“It’s phenomenal growth by any metric,” said Rachel Newman, global head of content at Apple Music, in a note released by the company.

“More music than you can hear in a lifetime, or several lifetimes. More music than any other platform. Simply the greatest collection of music, in any format, ever.”
Newman says that number will continue to grow exponentially and represents a major shift in the business of making and distributing music over the past two decades. In the 1960s, only 5 new albums were released each year. “Every day, more than 20 thousand singers and songwriters deliver new songs to the Apple Music”, he says.
