Apple Music now has over 100 million songs — a milestone number. That’s a significant increase from 30 million when it launched in June 2015, and means you’re likely to find the new songs you want. The company also says it adds about 20,000 new tracks to the service every day.

The 100 million milestone could give Apple Music an edge over its rivals. The service's main competitor, Spotify, claims to have "over 80 million tracks." As you can imagine, that's a big difference.

The question, of course, is whether or not this benefit is enough to make someone switch services. It's unclear how many songs are exclusives, such as original DJ and live sessions. Apple should dig deeper into this data. These unique offerings could prove tempting to make such a switch. If nothing else, the 100 million song count gives Apple bragging rights to having the largest song library in the world.
