Apple Music<\/a> has expanded into four new markets, giving artists and labels the potential to reach listeners in more parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was found by Aaron Perris<\/a> following an update to Apple\u2019s official Media Services availability list on 30 September, with the expansion bringing Apple Music\u2019s total reach to 172 countries and regions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes more than 11 years after Apple Music first launched in more than 100 countries in June 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where is Apple Music expanding?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Apple Music can now be found within Albania, Brunei, Burkina Faso and Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rollout is part of a wider period of international expansion for Apple\u2019s services. As Apple reported <\/a>earlier this year, Apple Music had its best year yet in 2025 for both listenership and new subscribers, while the company has continued bringing its services to more users around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest expansion also arrives alongside other recent Apple Music developments, including the opening of the new Apple Music Hall<\/a> in London and new features<\/a> being added to the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
