Apple has revealed that iTunes Radio has reached 20 million
users listening in to a billion songs since it launched in September.
According to cnet.com, Chief Executive Tim Cook made the update
at an event in San Francisco
on Tuesday.
After Apple said it had collected more than 11 million
unique listeners in iTunes Radio's first five days of life, it took about 5
weeks to come within range of doubling the initial figure.
That indicates that many of those initial users were tire
kickers, checking out Apple's long-awaited online radio service right after it
launched with the rollout of iOS 7 and update to desktop iTunes software.
Pandora, by comparison, is the current leader in streaming radio
with about 72.7 million active users as of last month, and it surpassed 200
million registered users earlier this year.
