YouTube Music/Premium has 20 million paid subscribers, 2M for YouTube TV

#YouTube #YouTubeMusic #Google

During the Alphabet 2019 Q4 earnings call, Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai provided an update on how many paid YouTube Music and Premium subscribers there are. There were also official figures for cord-cutting service YouTube TV.

Last May, Bloomberg reported 15 million subscribers one year after launch for YouTube Music. Both YouTube Music Premium and YouTube Premium now combine to have 20 million subscribers.

YouTube Music Premium costs $9.99 for ad-free playback, background streaming, and offline downloads. For $2 more, YouTube Premium extends those benefits to all video content across the service. In comparison, Apple Music has 60 million subscribers as of mid-2019, while Amazon Music just announced 55 million members and Spotify leads at 113 million.

Meanwhile, last March, YouTube TV was said to have 1 million subscribers. Nearly a year later, this has doubled to 2 million. This comes as PlayStation Vue shut down last month, with Google previously noting that sports events lead to an uptick in subscriptions. At $49.99 per month, it includes over 70 channels ranging from broadcast to cable, with apps available on most screens today.

Pichai also noted a $3 billion annual revenue run rate for these subscriptions and other non-advertising revenue, but higher content acquisition costs. In addition to YouTube Premium subscriber count, Google for the first time revealed YouTube ad revenue for 2019 at $15.15 billion — up from $11.16 billion in 2018.

Kate Bush, The Dreaming : A Pitchfork Review

#KateBush # WutheringHeights # Lionheart # NeverforEver #TheDreaming In 1982, Kate Bush’s daring and dense fourth album marked her transformation into a fearless experimental artist who was legible, audibly very queer, and very obviously in love with pop music. In 1978, Kate Bush first hit the UK pop charts with “Wuthering Heights” off her romantic, ambitious progressive pop debut The Kick Inside. That same year, her more confident, somewhat disappointing follow-up Lionheart and 1980’s Never for Ever had a grip of charting singles that further grew her UK success without achieving mega-stardom—she barely cracked into American college rock. What is truly amazing between the first chapter of her career and the new one that began with 1982’s The Dreaming is how consistently Bush avoided the musical world around her, preferring to hone and blend her literary, film, and musical inspirations (Elton John, David Bowie, and Pink Floyd) into the idiosyncratic perfection that was 1985’s Ho
