Ministry of Sound playlists come to Apple Music

Exclusive deal sees Spotify lose popular dance lists

13/10/2018

Apple Music has signed an exclusive deal with the Ministry of Sound to stream its popular dance playlists such as Dance Nation and Rave Nation. As a consequence of the deal these playlists, some of which have hundreds of thousands of followers, will be removed from Spotify and other non-Apple services over the course of the next few days. This is likely to disappoint a considerable number of Spotify subscribers as the Dance Nation playlist alone has over 273,000 followers.
