In less than six month, Apple’s iTunes Radio has become the third most popular music streaming service in the United States, this according to a new report from Edison Research and Statista.
iTunes Radio, with an 8% share, falls in behind first place Pandora (31%), and second place iHeartRadio (9%). Spotify, Google Play All Access, Rhapsody, Slacker, and TuneIn Radio filled out the top eight.
Since iTunes Radio debuted alongside iOS 7 less than six months ago, the numbers from the study suggest the service is the fastest growing of all the services. Assisted, no doubt, by the fact that it is included in the “Music” app in every copy of iOS 7, on millions of devices.
