(NASDAQ: AMZN)- Amazon Music Unlimited, Amazon's full-catalog
streaming service, today announces its expansion into 28 additional
countries, offering a catalog of more than 40 million songs and
thousands of playlists and personalized stations, hand-curated by Amazon
Music experts, to millions more listeners around the globe. New

of new releases from chart-topping artists including J Balvin, Katy
Perry, Luis Fonsi, Post Malone and many more on Amazon Music Unlimited
today within the Amazon Music app for iOS, Android (News - Alert), Mac, PC, Fire TV and
on any Web browser at www.amazonmusic.com.
Also today, Amazon Echo will begin to ship to these new countries,
enabling customers who purchase devices at www.amazon.com/echo,
the ability to experience Amazon Music Unlimited with the power and
simplicity of natural voice controls in English, powered by Alexa,
Amazon's cloud-based voice service.
"Music is such an incredible global connector, and with Amazon Music
Unlimited we've been able to give listeners access to an extensive
catalog with the added experience of using their own voice to hear music
in so many ways with Alexa," stated Steve Boom (News - Alert), VP of Amazon Music.
"Today's announcement signifies an important moment for Amazon Music
Unlimited and our international customers as we continue to offer more
music fans all over the world a completely new way to hear
expertly-curated playlists and songs from their favorite artists."
Explore Voice-Forward Music Listening Since first
launching in the US in October of 2016, Amazon Music Unlimited has
expanded to the UK, Germany, Austria, Japan and more, transforming music
streaming with the ability to just ask Alexa to play music by voice and
creating the most natural listening environment for millions of
subscribers. Now, customers in 28 more countries can ask for music from
today's most popular and trending artists in a variety of ways. Looking
for a specific song? Just ask, "Alexa, play 'Sorry Not Sorry' by Demi
Lovato." Want to hear your favorite artist? Ask, "Alexa, play Miguel."
Subscribers can also ask for genres like, "Alexa, play rock music" or
for specific playlists and stations, "Alexa, play a 'Classic Rock'
station", and "Alexa, play the 'Brand New Music' playlist by Amazon
Music." For those who want to be surprised, simply ask, "Alexa, play
music" and Alexa will return a personalized station based on each
customer's unique listening habits and available for endless playback.
Today's Top Music Curated for You In addition to
streaming weekly new releases, subscribers can also enjoy unlimited,
ad-free streaming of thousands of personalized stations and playlists
designed for a wide range of artists, genres, moods, occasions and
activities. Amazon Music playlists including "The Twenty" and
"Introducing" are custom-tailored for new territories by Amazon Music
experts. "The Twenty", an Amazon Music Unlimited playlist, features a
constantly-updated list of 20 of the hottest songs around the world.
Customers can choose from content hand-curated by Amazon Music experts,
build their own playlists, or find new favorites through Amazon's
personalized recommendations either on the Amazon Music app or Web
Player.
