Private messaging and groups platform Telegram was the big winner of 2021, up almost 75 million installs from 256 million last year to 329 million this year.
Music and audio is usually an extremely competitive segment, but it’s not even close there.
The winner, which more than doubled the global installs of its nearest competitor, is Spotify, which snagged 203 million app installs in 2021. Google’s music app, YouTube Music, was third with 79 million, and Amazon Music was seventh with 44 million.) But there was a very interesting new upstart from a very familiar source that hit the top 10 list despite being available in only three countries.
“While Spotify continues to blow all competitors out of the water, a newcomer has gone from not on the top charts at all last year, to all the way to the second most downloaded music streaming app in the world,” says Apptopia VP of Insights Adam Blacker. “That app is Resso, which is owned by Bytedance, maker of TikTok. Resso launched in May 2019. The app is live in Brazil, Indonesia and India.”
