100m smartphones will ship with pre-installed apps powered by 7digitals music streaming API over the course of 2013.

Largely responsible for that figure is the confirmation that the recently-unveiled Samsung Galaxy S4 has selected 7digital as its music partner, and once again incorporating the MusicHub app, which is powered by the platform.

“We’re well known for delivering a high-quality digital music download experience globally, in partnership with many leading companies including Samsung” said Ben Drury, CEO at 7digital. “High growth of the mobile sector led us to expand our open music platform and technology, and we’re now powering a diverse range of mobile digital music services – including radio and on-demand subscription streaming. Were witnessing huge growth across the international markets we’re operating in, in both streaming and downloading of legal music.”

7digital says it has seen a tenfold increase in tracks streamed from its API in the past year, with the figure set to rise to hundreds of millions of streams by the end of 2013.
