A music store isn’t much without a variety of music, and Google’s new offering launched with some big backing today. The corporate is partnering with Universal, EMI, Sony Music and a minimum of 23 independent labels at the service — in keeping with Google, that covers about 13 million songs, 8 million of which might be available today. Speaking on the launch event, Universal’s Rob Wells said that he expects Google Music to be a “rich new revenue stream for our artists,” and extra noted that he is all for the “global rollout” across all Android devices, although we’re unfortunately not hearing many specifics about availability outside the united states just yet. What’s more, Google also announced that Google Music may have various exclusive offerings from the labels, including concerts from the likes of The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Pearl Jam and The Dave Matthews Band, and the exclusive debut of Busta Rhymes’ latest album.
