Yandex Music is a prominent Russian music streaming service, developed by Yandex and launched on September 22, 2010. It quickly expanded its catalog from an initial 800,000 to over 40 million tracks by October 2017, reaching approximately 20 million monthly users primarily across Russia, CIS countries, and Israel. A standout feature is its personalized "smart playlists," which are updated daily using advanced artificial neural networks to offer tailored recommendations and music discovery.

The service, available on web and mobile apps since 2012-2013, underwent significant redesigns and expansions, including launches in Armenia and Israel in 2018. Users can enjoy on-demand music, offline playback with a paid subscription, lyrics, and even import music from other streaming platforms. However, in 2022, Yandex Music faced significant challenges and substantial losses when many international copyright holders ceased cooperation amidst the Russia-Ukraine conflict, limiting access to foreign content.
