Apple Music now has more than 11 million paid subscribers.

Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, shared the figure during the latest episode of John Gruber's podcast, The Talk Show.

Gruber was joined by Cue and Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering. The three had a wide-ranging discussion about a variety of topics surrounding Apple and its software and services.

At the around the 46-minute mark, Cue revealed that Apple Music had passed 11 million subscribers. This news comes almost exactly a month after Apple confirmed it had passed 10 million paying subscribers. Spotify has about 25 million subscribers.

This is impressive when you consider that Apple Music formally launched at the end of June alongside a three-month free trial.

A big part of the push seems to be international. Cue was recently in China for the launch of Apple Music there, and on The Talk Show, Cue mentioned the service has come to Taiwan and Turkey in the last week.

Apple Music came to Android in November and the company has continued to update and improve its app for Android users.
