One year ago today…

one-year-cake.png

We took a big step in our journey and opened Spotify up to the public. It’s been a wild ride since then, even more than we could have imagined and today we celebrated with a little cake in the office.

Over the past year we’ve worked hard to continue to improve Spotify. We’ve more than doubled the size of our music catalogue over the year and work continues to add more content each week. We’ve added features to allow you to buy your favorite music, play music when your connection drops out and most significantly to take Spotify with you while on the move.

We want to take a moment to thank everyone who made this a great year, including all of the great artists on Spotify, our partners who have believed in us from the beginning, the team here who work long hours to ensure you enjoy the best service and – of course – our users who make it all worthwhile.

Some of the fun stats over the year include:

  • It would take more than 34 years to listen to the entire catalogue, no sleep allowed
  • More than one in nine Swedes are Spotify users
  • Billions of tracks are streamed every month
  • Tens of thousands new users joining everyday

And this is only the beginning…

And a little more after an month, my songs uploaded on record union finally appeared on spotify!

 
 

Amazing work!

 
 

Happy birthday Spotify!

 
 

Happy birthday! Keep up all the amazing work!

 
 

Grats guys! Here's to another awesome year! Now how about lowering the price of the premium sub? :D

 
 

Premium mebership isnt expensive @rumik

 
 

Happy b' Spotify :o)

 
 

Congratulations guys! Fantastic achievement, here's to the next 12 months!

 
 

Keep up the Good work! Nice with Swedes

 
 

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY and CONGRATULATIONS. I think the party next year will have to consist of more than just a cake!

 
 

Congrats to the entire Spotify team! Can't wait to see what's up next :)

 
 

Happy Birthday! Any chance of giving us Symbian users a birthday present sometime soon..? ;-)

 
 

Happy birthday!

 
 

Bloody well done, Spotify!

 
 

Wow, impressive metrics ! Happy birthday !

 
 

ok, next step is to allow belgium with french ads, as a major part of belgium speak french (and the other part understand french), ads in belgium are as about the same as in france (everywhere).

 
 

And it would allow me (and other ppl) to listen music while ads are added to the belgium version.

 
 

Congratulationes!

 
 

Happy birthday spotify! <3

 
 

Happy birthday Spotify! Keep up the great work :)

 
 

Happy Birthday !! Thank you for an amazing app, keep up the good work and soon you'll be leaving iTunes in the dust !

 
 

Happy Birthday!

 
 

Spotify in Switzerland! Now! :)

 
 

Congratulations. What are you plans for developing the packages now Napster is £5 a month with 5 download creadits?

 
 

Whoop! I am so pleased Spotify came along. Who knows what I'd be using uTorrent for now if it weren't for Spotify. One year gone. MANY more to go...

 
 

Happy birthday! Gonna celebrate you by going premium!

 
 

Happy Birthday, Spotify!

 
 

Happy birthday spotify but please add the song Dope - Im back

 
 

I hope it's profitable enough too, so that we'll continue to have this as a persisting and growing haven of music.

 
 

För det är ingen vanlig dag för det är Spotifys födelsedag... Hurra! Hurra! Hurra! Grattis och lycka till... ni är det bästa som hänt internet på många många år..!

 
 

It's been a great year and Spotify is truly a great product. All that's left to do now is to convince the record industry to change how they work with regards to digital streaming. No more regional restrictions and no more removal of tracks for stupid bureaucratic reasons that only serve to force users back to piracy. The changing of minds in the record industry has to be Spotify's priority going forward, otherwise I fear everything could come crashing down.

 
 

Just a shame you're treating your annual subscription customers so poorly on renewal day...

 
 

@wtbw: I'm one of those subscribers. Is there something I should know?

 
 

Happy Birthday Spotify. Thank you for your services. I'm a huge fan <3 PS : Hurry up for the Symbian mobile version please ^

 
 

Maybe after a few more of these, we can do away with regional restrictions. Good work for the past year though.

 
 

Felicidades!!! Que cumplas muchos más!

 
 

Big big thanx for this service.. It's now part of what I almost takes for granted, but will never stop remebering how absolutely great this program is. Big thanx. I'm doing my best to take up as much band-width as I can ^^

 
 

i <3 spotify goal for 2010: metallica and pink floyd on spotify, or support for own mp3's integrated in the playlist! :D

 
 

Happy birthday, Spotify! Thanks for creating this fantastic service which allows us enjoying music without boundaries.

 
 

hi happy birthday spotify yipeeeee!!

 
 

could you please add some oasis to the list of amazing music please spotify?

 
 

Happy birthday ! Congrat

 
 

Congrats Spotify and Happy First Birthday, I no longer have to decide whether to spend my £10 a month on Nina Simone or the Ramones, I can have both and so much more. Discovering new artists and music every day so come on music industry, this is where the world is going, don't slow us down.

 
 

Congrats, Spotify! Here's to many more years for you and all your fantastic work.

 
 

¡Muchísimas felicidades desde España! ¡Spotify se ha convertido, sin lugar a dudas, en mi servicio favorito a la hora de escuchar canciones! y aunque no están todas las que quiero, sí que reconozco que vuestra labor es encomiable. Congratulations Spotify, from Spain!

 
 

Congrats from a user on three platforms (Mac, iPhone and Windows). If you do make it big in the US, and knowing who some of your shareholders are, please don't ever forget that you made it big by looking and quacking like a European success story. Not a wannabe American one.

 
 

Bonne anniversaire SPOTIFY ! De France, Continuez comme cela et mille merci !!! vive Spotify !

 
 

Happy birthday dudes and dudettes!
