Amazon Prime Music has ‘several million people using it'

“Prime Music has several million people using it on a monthly basis, and it’s been growing consistently since we launched,” said Boom. “I can tell you that our hours are growing faster than our users – a good sign, because it means people are getting more and more engaged with our service.”

Boom’s comments came shortly after a piece of research from Parks Associates claimed that Prime Music was the most popular streaming subscription service in the US, used by 10% of broadband households ahead of Pandora One (6%) and Spotify Premium (4%). At the time, we noted that this suggested close to 10m Amazon Prime Music users in the US alone.
