The company is likely to reach over 200 million users this year although the majority pay nothing by taking advantage of the Swedish streaming services free package which offers limited access to its catalogue. Spotify has come under pressure to justify its $27bn valuation to investors, forcing it to come up with innovative new ways of proving its worth at the premium end of the paying spectrum, where the greatest profits lie.ĭespite boasting 71 million paying subscribers last year, the company still conspired to rack up a loss as it anxiously looks over its shoulder to the rise of Apple Music which has attracted over 36 million subscribers over a much shorter lifespan.
