streaming app. Spotify has added 20 million paid subscribers in less than a year, and apple's
music has taken a year and a half. Spotify currently has 60 million users, while Apple Music has
27 million users (as of June).
Despite competition from some of the world's most powerful companies, Spotify still has the ability
to speed up its growth, demonstrating the products and communities it has built.

the preferred streaming service for music enthusiasts.

be reissued in later days to raise cash. Spotify is expected to finish the work by the end of the

Weekly update: Spotify's popular weekly update of personalized playlists makes it a top choice for
music enthusiasts looking for new songs and artists. The playlist reached 40 million users in the
first year, and Spotify then launched a new single for the release radar. Competitors like apple

artists want to gain huge success, with services has become a must in the distribution channel,
the company's capital, and the influence of the company, has attracted users like Taylor swift to

Spotify has become more popular than other partner Pandora and Google music, and Google
Home recently began allowing free ad-supported services for Spotify. Once apple starts rolling
out its own home pod smart speaker, the partnership with Google will become even more
important.
