Why Apple Music Is Starting to Win Spotify’s Game

Because it’s going after serious music fans while Spotify targets low-effort listeners.

Taken together, all of this tells us a lot about how Spotify become such a behemoth in music streaming—and how Apple caught up so quickly. With its endless, algorithmically assembled playlists, Spotify is the music service of low-effort listeners. And Apple Music is becoming the platform of choice for more serious music fans.

Why do the stans prefer Apple Music? Because for fans who already know what they want, it has that in droves.

Despite Spotify’s successful public debut and steadily rising stock price, Apple Music’s growth isn’t just in subscribers but in engagement—and it shows why its approach may have even more potential. Music Business Worldwide observed that when North Carolina rapper J. Cole released his latest album KOD in May, the album in the first day hit 64.5 million streams in the United States on Apple Music compared to only 36.7 million streams on Spotify—a nearly 30 million gap between the two platforms, despite Spotify’s overall user-base advantage. Managers and label sources have told me this gulf in engagement repeats across the genre: Rap acts consistently overperform on Apple Music compared to Spotify.

Spotify built an impressive music platform but by courting music’s more passive listeners; Apple Music is happily reaching—and billing—music’s most dedicated fans.

Spotify --> Apple Music. Everything just looks so much better on Spotify + we can actually see songs streams.

Spotify’s layout is immaculate, the numbers and data being visible is a gift, but one thing AM has over Spotify are exclusive track versions and certain live versions that aren’t cut short.
