Apple Music has gained 10 million subscribers in the six months since its July 2015 release.
Sources close to Apple confirmed to the Financial Times that the company’s music streaming service had achieved this figure, which is a significant one.
Apple’s closest rival in the music streaming market, Spotify, took six years to achieve the same number of users.
Spotify and Apple continue to be the major leaders in music streaming.
Meanwhile, the France-based streaming service, Deezer, had more than 6.3 million users as of last October, and Tidal, the artist-owned venture, led by hip hop musician Jay Z, reportedly hit one million subscribers that same month.
With Apple Music doing well on iOS, thoughts have turned to the Android version that's expected to land on the rival operating system next month.
New images, allegedly depicting Apple Music for Android, have emerged via German site MobileGeeks (via 9to5Mac) and show off some of the features that could be arriving with the app.
These include Beats 1 and the recommendations page, as well as Apple's social network, Music Connect. As the site notes, however, one surprise feature is the ability for users to change the size of the offline music cache, which isn't available for Apple users.
