A proof that UK will get Apple Music.

Playing here in Australia too!

 

[Daku93]

Working here in Germany, too, eventhough the demo loop didn't even start working until yesterday for German accounts.

Weird, hitting the "play now" button didn't work for me but hitting anywhere else in the box did.

 

[atwater]

Working in Norway as well

I'm not sure that's proof of anything. They announced Beats 1 would launch in 100 countries today, but Apple Music would START to launch in 100 countries today.

Brian Eno? I may actually listen to Beats 1!

 

[daio]

Does everybody also have BBC World Service as a radio station? I have a UK apple ID but I am in Germany.

It has started working today too!

 

[Antoni Nygaard]

Playing here too Brian Eno in Denmark

Weird, hitting the "play now" button didn't work for me but hitting anywhere else in the box did.

That has always been the case for me even when it was just the demo.

 

[gsmumbo01]

Airport music. Such a tease Apple! But man it's getting me even more excited for today's launch

 

[alexandru.popa]

working in Canada too

 

[BadMelonFarmer]

UK...Yay and.... Brian Eno .... Double Yay!

 

[matrix07]

I'm not sure that's proof of anything. They announced Beats 1 would launch in 100 countries today, but Apple Music would START to launch in 100 countries today.

I don't think these two are separated.

A proof that UK will get Apple Music.

hmmmm just noticed that they have updated the Apple Music pages on the Apple web site.... UK says "Coming Soon" the US website says "Available 6.30.15"

So looks like the UK will not get Apple Music today
