It is now known as YouTube Premium, will cost $11.99 per month in the US, and will soon be expanding into a glut of European markets including the UK. Google is launching a music streaming service to replace Google Play Music as it makes another attempt to take on Spotify and Apple Music. Earlier this month users in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and South Korea were given access to YouTube Music which, like Spotify, comes with ads or as an ad-free version for $9.99 a month. The service will be rolled out to other markets in the coming months. Google’s new service, which has been dubbed “Music,” was first announced last year but its launch date hasn’t yet been announced.
