Youtube Music’s new users seem to overpass the users of Google Play Music. While the oldest entity of Google still stands, we might not have it in the near future. Google Play Music might be discontinued considering the updates Google has been throwing on the new Youtube Music.
Google has been improving both the services in the past couple of years, users of the recent product have outgrown the one standing the market. Youtube Music was being tested in the past couple of months to bring features that were unique to the Google Play Music App. Looks like Google finally decided to cease the existence of the popular music app.
