Just a month after [launch](https://www.hypebot.com/twitter-music-is-top-free-music-app-on-itunes/), Twitter's entry into the music space appears to have fallen flat. As if today, the app languishes as the 113th most popular free iOS music app. To provide perspective as to how poorly that means #Music is doing, several years after launch Spotify and Pandora remain #1 and #2; and something called [Sing!

giants like Google and Facebook do  
all the time, but Twitter has only recently come around to."
