Included in Billboard’s “Streaming Scorecard” are front-runners Spotify, newcomers Tidal and Apple Music, surprise success Amazon Music and then America’s current favourite Pandora. The scorecard covers Apple Music’s success with it’s global, 24-7 online radio Beats 1, specifically the head and face of Beats 1, ex-BBC DJ Zane Lowe.
