Welcome to the @Spotify audiobook club, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand. Let us know which title you're going to hit "play" on first. newsroom.spotify.com/2024-04-02/spo…

For the 4th year in a row, we’re sharing our music royalties report, Loud & Clear. One stat that lots of you are curious about is what 1M streams means. Even just 6 years ago, having ~1M streams on a song was huge and could take a while to reach. But now, in 2023 alone, over…

More ways for artists to succeed than ever before.

Spotify paid out a record-breaking $9 billion to the music industry in 2023. But I got a lot of questions on if this only benefits the big artists. The answer: nearly half, $4.5bn was generated by independent artists. This is a major shift for the industry, showing the changing…

From cross-platform play to supporting developers of all sizes, Xbox (and Microsoft) are proof that removing barriers for developers and giving users more choice actually works. More on Spotify’s POV here: newsroom.spotify.com/2024-01-26/app…

People used to buy CDs, now they buy streaming subscriptions. But the revenue of the music industry is back to its pre-Napster peak. If you're a generative AI company, your goal should be to become Spotify, not Napster.

This is a video of the team at the moment of pushing audiobooks live 🚀. A colossal thank you to this hands-on team and so many more not in the video - proving that, it really does take a village. 📚 (P.S. Yes, we really have a red button for releases! 🔴🤣)

If you feel like you still don’t have a handle on the fundamentals of AI/LLMs, you might be interested in a talk @GustavS recently gave to our team. He dives into that how these systems work is actually much simpler than many of us think Full link: spoti.fi/3OdNxqA


Just this.
