Apple Music's live radio channel finally comes to Singapore users
Apple Music's Beats 1 live radio station is now in Singapore, almost two years after the streaming music service was first launched in the country.
Beats 1 Radio is a live 24/7 radio station, and was quietly launched on Tuesday in the city.
Singapore users -- and those in countries which don't have access to the live Radio service -- have until now only had access to Beats 1 On Demand, an aggregated version of the live broadcast, available as a recording.
Apple's products are vastly popular in Singapore, with products like the iPhone usually launched here on the same day as the U.S.
Singapore netizens have been calling for years for the online radio station to be launched.
