Whole lotta zeros: Apple Music crosses 100 million barrier

The music giant tells The Associated Press that internal data indicates Apple Music will reach the heady mark on Monday. Every day, 20,000 singers and songwriters release music on the service.

"It's a huge, huge number," Rachel Newman, Apple's global head of editorial and content, told AP. "It really is possible to create music and  record it and release it more than ever before in the history of music, which we think is pretty incredible."

Apple Music says the milestone cements it as the world's largest catalogue of music, more than YouTube Music's 80 million songs, Spotify's 82 million tracks and podcasts, and Amazon Music's 90 million songs.
