What do they mean with: "#1 year for Apple Music listenership"?
If it is "The year in which people that use Apple Music used more Apple Music than in the years before" than it does not sound astounding.

> while Apple Music reached all-time highs in both listenership and new subscribers.
I'm assuming listenership is total subscribers.
It doesn't need to be "astounding". But it is significant, given the competition from Spotify and YouTube and other streaming services. When you're not the most popular service, it's genuinely a challenge to be on the growing side of things rather than the shrinking side or stagnant side.
Spotify is the market leader with 31.5%.
Apple Music is #3 at 12%.

I've deleted the Apple Music app from my iPhone, so you can definitely remove it there.
Like saying 100% of iOS users use their Apple settings app.
I know it, because it's bundled in my subscription. Did you know Apple doesn't support other vendors for native backup and so you need ICloud?
There are no alternative Settings apps. But you can certainly use Spotify like I do and many others.
What does it being bundled with a bundle you chose to subscribe to have to do with anything? You can subscribe to iCloud without Apple Music if you want. It's cheaper.
I don't think I've ever heard listenership in that same context though, so they might have just made that up. haha
