Spend on music streaming subscriptions is also up significantly year-on-year. From what we can tell from the data published over the weekend by the New York Times, consumer spending on the likes of Apple Music and Spotify Premium rose by just over 20% YoY in the week when compared to the same seven days in 2019. That’s a bigger spending rise than that seen on News Media and eBooks, according to the NYT article, but a smaller jump than that seen by video streaming (Netflix et al) and video games.
