We’re all aware of YouTube, right? When we first hear the term YouTube, we usually relate it to watching online videos, isn’t it?

And recently, both these services, Spotify and YouTube Music have been released in India and is expected to hit a huge audience user base in one go. This might affect their current popularity, ranking on charts and a lot of other factors too. Spotify may be #1 (yet) but you never know what time has to tell, right?
