In November 2022, YouTube revealed YouTube Music and YouTube Premium reached 80 million paying subscribers combined.

In a blog post, YouTube VP of Product Management, Adam Smith noted: “YouTube Premium helps maintain a thriving creator and artist community, providing them with an additional source of revenue from subscriptions.

“From small beginnings to a community of 100M across more than 100 countries, we’re grateful to our subscribers for their support.”

In a separate post, YouTube Global Head of Music, Lyor Cohen said: “In 2015, many doubted a subscription model could thrive on YouTube. They said the market was crowded and our platform was too different.

“Today – 100 million subscribers later – our distinctiveness is precisely what drives our success and why I still see so much room for growth.”
