Are there no other streaming platforms than Spotify?

  • Everyone's always talking about spotify when it's about international digitals which makes sense, many incl myself use spotify.


    But are there no other large worldwide streaming platforms like how in Korea there's Melon but also genie, flo, vibe etc that also have a part of the overall market share for streaming?

    Approved the thread.
  • I think it's the most used one alongside youtube since not only do they represent a massive % of global music consumption but also display streaming numbers

  • Tidal

    Deezer

    Apple Music

  • spotify has the highest market cap globally among streaming platforms which is why its considered important

  • it is still using cd player


    that is number one since million sellers in kpop have ass streams

  • eghghgh melon registration is so f*cking complicated


    I caught an IP ban before I figured out how to enter my info.


    Probably buttonmashed the enter button too many times but still

  • i switched to Deezer cuz my phone provider offered it cheaper than other phone providers that offer Spotify

  • Because Apple, Deezer, Amazon and Tidal don't like numbers

  • i forgot to add that Apple Music is huge too globally

  • Tidal and AM is only big in US. Latin america which is the majority of the western continent uses Spotify

  • Interesting.

    Is there anything known about spotify market share of the global market compared with those other streaming services? I suspect not, but would be neat if there's available info like that.

    Come on now, don't diss all those bgs.

    Many bg stans are proud of their bias many-million album sales and think it proves their bias global popularity. Never mind their ass streams, views and charting.

  • It's Spotify and Youtube. Apple music resembles FLO or Vibe in IKorea.

  • Spotify music is currently the biggest music streaming platform in the world, streams from Spotify and apple music carry more weightage to the major charts than YouTube and it has always been that way.


    YouTube is on a decline recent times for example:

    Stay was the biggest song of 2021 it has 2b streams on Spotify and barely 500m on YouTube and it is the same case for big hits released this year too. That's why Stans whether kpop or western they seem to care more about Spotify positions than YouTube numbers. It doesn't help that YouTube numbers can also be inflated very much by using ads so ppl are not taking it seriously as they were before.
