Not having Universal Music onboard at launch back in June 2014 was a notable omission and it is understood the disagreement came down to money. Now this injection of artists will help flesh out the service, adding to its current list of most popular musicians.

"We are pleased to make a selection of our catalogue available on Prime Music, " said Francis Keeling, Universal Music Group global head of digital business, in a press release.

"With Amazon's tremendous reach and consumer appeal, we are delighted to build on our relationship by making Universal Music's world-class artists available to Amazon Prime members."
