Since entering the music streaming world two years ago, Apple Music has been slowly chasing its biggest competitor Spotify.
The streaming service now boasts 27 million subscribers and has started branching out into online television, with Carpool Karaoke and an app development program.
With Apple Music's current deal with record labels set to expire at the end of the month, the company is expected to make a controversial move in the next round of contract negotiations - the tech giant is hoping to force record labels to take a smaller revenue cut from its streaming service.
Under the current deal record labels receive about 58 per cent of revenue from Apple Music subscribers.
Comparatively, Spotify was recently successful in its attempts to have its rate reduced from 55 per cent to 52 per cent during negotiations with labels.
