 Hey what's going on everybody it's Tuko from Music ID TV and this is Use the News. So Apple Music has launched Apple Music for Artists Beta. This launched in June of 2018 and it is pretty much just like Spotify in which you can access the back engine of your presence on Apple Music. I was able to take away from this is the fact that Apple Music allows you to get access to your iTunes information as well. I think that's really really cool because we've heard stories about iTunes Store closing down even if it does close down that little 99 cent purchase isn't bad for you to know along with the package of knowing what your activity is doing on Apple Music. Another cool thing is that they break down how well your song is doing on radio. Beats One Radio of course is another Apple Music feature which is somewhat popular because you have a lot of popular artists like Nicki Minaj doing interviews on Beats One Radio. Another great thing about Apple Music for Artists Beta program and why you should get on it period because I'm pretty sure if you have any music on platforms it's probably on Apple Music. So Apple Music just became the number one streaming service in the United States with 25 million paid subscribers beating out Spotify domestically but internationally Spotify is still number one but when it comes to the home base you want to be aware that Apple Music is number one and it's growing so you want to try and manage your presence on that as well. Another thing is that Drake Scorpion's Apple Music Streams Apple formed its Spotify streams almost by 10 million streams. On Apple Music he had over 130 million streams and on Spotify had about 120 million streams and so so Apple Music is not only growing and its user base is also growing massively in its engagement. So you can download Apple Music for Artists from the App Store on iPhones. I would say one criticism of Apple Music for Artists versus Spotify Music for Artists the game plan feature which breaks down how to use Spotify. This is a feature that I don't think Apple really has for Artists so as much as they're trying to do this initiative it might be just like a tit for tat until they really kind of explain how people can really utilize this even better like Spotify did and I think that would encourage more people to use it. Beyond that be sure to share with a friend like and subscribe leave a comment in the comment section letting us know if you have Apple Music or not or if you would even use this. Beyond that this is Tuko from Music Guy DTV and this is Use the News. Sigh now.
