It also operates one of the largest streaming video services and recently announced that its streaming music service has gained more than 55 million subscribers, closing in on Apple Music. “Amazon blew all expectations out of the water during the holiday quarter,” said Andrew Lipsman of the research firm eMarketer, noting that the rollout of next-day Prime delivery helped momentum.
