Tim Cook has said that "millions and millions" are using the service. Now come **our first, still very unofficial, stats**. Less than one month after the June 30th launch of Apple Music, the service has attracted 10 million subscribers, according to a a new report. Old-school industry newsletter [Hits Daily Double](http://hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=296978?ref=hypebot.com) cites " inside sources at some of the major labels – who are bound by ironclad NDAs ." [![Apple Music](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201b7c7b535e0970b-150wi "Apple Music")](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201b7c7b535e0970b-popup?ref=hypebot.com) The report also claims that streaming stats for several "cutting-edge hip-hop titles" nearly equals Spotify’s. Several label execs are urging Apple to publicize the numbers, but so far Eddie Cue & Co. have resisted. "Subscribers" is dubious moniker for Apple Music's initial users, all of whom are less than 30 days into a 90 day trial. How many continue to pay after the trial over will be the real number that matters; and could explain Apple's reluctance to declare victory just yet. Expect a marketing major push for Apple Music beginning with the August 30th MTV Video Music Awards – 30 days before those 10 million free users start having to pay.
