Thanks to growth in Spotify and Apple Music, music streaming has passed the milestone of 100 million paying subscribers worldwide, a feat few imagined possible a few years ago. The US music industry is on track to record a second consecutive year of growth — something that has not happened since 1999, the year Napster was created and launched at Northeastern University.
