Spotify Claims Streaming Music Throne Worldwide

TechCrunch: Spotify is the world’s top streaming music service in terms of active users, downloads and revenue, according to a new music-focused report from App Annie. However, while Spotify bested last year’s top streaming music app Pandora Radio from a global standpoint, Pandora is still strong in the U.S. where it remains the No. 1 streaming service by active users on iPhone and Android. In other markets, niche players have been carving out their own audiences.
