Amazon Prime Announces Streaming Music

On June 12, 2014, Amazon Prime announced that they would be offering over 1 million songs to their Amazon Prime membership. The e-commerce giant increased their annual subscription rate and in return, added music. Amazon Prime members now enjoy streaming music and videos along with free shipping.

This move has put Amazon as one of the largest (if not the largest) streaming music services with a global subscription in the tens of millions. The music industry, will no doubt, be transformed in the years to come because of the popularity of streaming music.
