Just a couple of months after launching in Kenya, Ghana, and Senegal, YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium have reached a combined 100 million subscribers globally. While it’s impossible to know if these new markets directly impacted the milestone, the timing is certainly interesting.

YouTube Premium and Music Premium launched in Kenya, Ghana, and Senegal in December 2023, marking a significant expansion for the subscription services in Sub-Saharan Africa. January 2024, which includes the first two months of availability in the country, is also the period when the 100 million subscriber mark was crossed. While it’s possible this is simply a coincidence, it’s a fascinating one regardless. Did the arrival of YouTube Premium and Music Premium in Kenya contribute to the surge in subscribers? Or is it merely a happy accident of timing?

Listen, I’m not trying to definitively say Kenya was the key to YouTube Music and Premium hitting 100 million subscribers across the globe. However, Google’s confirmation of reaching this milestone reflects the platforms’ widespread appeal and popularity among users seeking ad-free and exclusive content experiences, including new additions from Kenya and parts of West Africa.

For Kenyan, Ghanaian, and Senegalese users, the arrival of YouTube Premium and Music Premium offers new options for ad-free viewing, background play, and music streaming. But whether these markets directly impacted the 100 million subscriber milestone or not, one clear thing is that the demand for premium YouTube experiences is growing globally, which is music to ears of the folks at Google.

If you’re still not part of the 100M strong, be sure to check out our guide on how to sign up for YouTube and YouTube Music Premium.
