Google has long announced that the popular music service Play Music will soon cease to exist. It will be replaced by the YouTube Music service, which has been actively developing lately.
Users are powerless to change this, but they can rejoice at the outstanding achievement that Play Music was able to achieve before its final closure. Since its inception, the Google Play Music app has been downloaded from the official Play Store over 5 billion times.
It is worth mentioning that Play Music becomes the sixth Google product that has managed to achieve such an impressive result. Previously, the mark of 5 billion downloads was submitted to the company's search engine, YouTube applications, Maps, the Chrome browser, and the Gmail mail service. All these services are pre-installed on devices with Android OS, which greatly helps their promotion. With YouTube Music becoming the default music app in Android 10, the popularity of its predecessor will steadily decline.
Despite the inevitable arrival of YouTube Music, many Play Music fans are determined to continue using their favorite app. It can be assumed that it will be a long time before the new application acquires features that can attract the attention of the audience. Until then, Play Music fans will likely continue to use their favorite music app.
