Spotify reaches one million subscribers
It seems like only yesterday we were hatching ideas for a new music service in a tiny office-cum-apartment with a broken coffee machine, and the party we threw having reached one million users almost two years ago today was one to remember.
So it’s with a sense of real pride and excitement that we can announce a new milestone today, having welcomed our millionth paying subscriber to the service. It’s a testament to our fantastic users who continue to support us and spread the Spotify word, either by telling friends or sharing some of the 200 million playlists that you’ve put together so far.
From everyone at Spotify, we’d like to give you all massive thanks. We’ll continue to focus on providing you with the best music service possible, and look forward to adding even more cool new features over the coming months. What’s really exciting is that this is only the beginning.
Thanks for listening!

Congratulations! There's more to the picture than meet the eye:)
YAY !
Congratulations, totally deserved..
Congrats! Now you have the money to do more with the service. Like wiki for all kinds of info about a song (genre!! first time performed, original artist etc) :-)
Congratulations - and thank you for the music!
Congrats! And now take over the US ;)
One millionth simultaneous subscriber, or one millionth subscription sold?
@ps45 - simultaneous subscribers.
So now you can pay some people to make a real social network - not only based on facebook. I'm ok with spotify premium, but not enough to say "congrats". So much things that are not working, or not well done (and not changing).
Nice one keep up the great work. I've discovered many new bands and artists on Spotify. Well worth the ten quid a month.
Great! Now, how about making a better Android client? Or a discount for subscribing for a year?
Great, BUT... after 1 million subscribers, shouldn't you make an iPad version???????
felicidades a todo spotify ,que tal el descuento por todo el año, bien por la musicaaaaa
Great news, I love the service and hope it continues to grow. There's still a few things to improve (radios, new releases, etc) but I'm a happy paying customer.
You are the best Spotify!!!! http://albumoftoday.com
Congratulations and you're very welcome. :)
Whoop whoop! I use Spotify all day every day. Going premium is one of the best purchases I ever made!
¿Para cuándo el último disco de Adele en Spotify? Nito
Congrats!! I've been with you from the start almost and I've loved the development for both free and premium users. Especially me as a premium-user :)
I'm using Spotify Unlimited right now, but will move up to Premium as soon as I've bought a smart phone. Wish list: - Spotify introduced on the US market so that I can share my playlists with my american friends. - Even higher quality streaming! (Imagine FLAC-quality streaming) - Last.fm intergration, even more than just scrobbling (buy it and make it into a Spotify community :) ) Keep up the good work!
I agree with johnsandberg. Spotify and Last.fm merged would be a great combination. And, obviously, enter the USA market but I guess that is also #1 on the wishlist of the Spotify staff.
Advert free week to celebrate? :)
Congratulations! Support for Linux, Android 1.x and higher, Apple iOS 3.x and higher is THE most important reason why I prefer it above other services. I hope you can sustain the attractive pricing scheme in the near future.
Congrats! A few features I'd like to see. • An indication when there's a new song in a shared playlist since you last time listen to it • An indication when new songs have been added to playlists you subscribe too • Being able to edit my profile (i'm not on FB and it's quite discriminating, for those who are not on FB) • More integration with Last.FM, concerts in your town / hint about albums for bands playing soon in your area • Extend the social integration between users • Add a sent-folder for keeping tracks of songs you sent to your friends • When syncing playlist to my iPhone, I miss the option how to sort the playlist. Very often I have a playlist that I keep adding new songs to, I'd like to have the list with latest added song first and not in the bottom.
Congrulations!!! Please add to Android app "move to SD" cache system and equaliser and volume normalization and 320 kbps/sec quality!!! Thank you. Waitong for this all the time...
Congratulations!! Always I believe in Spotify, in your business model, and now this is a reality. I've been using Spotify since 2009 and I think that spotify should grow more! For example, add more content of artists like Metallica, Pink Floyd, Tool, Arcade Fire, Travis... Cheers from a enchanted user on Spain!
Great!! Congratulations! I think Spotify is moving music listening to a higher level and makes it a social event in the house. One question: how many subscribers total?
Félicitation !!!!!
Enhorabuena! Es la mejor solución y os merecéis mucho más éxito. Congratulations ! Its the best solution an you deserve larger success.
congratulations! i became a paying subscriber just to try the mobile app (on my Android HTC Desire) and been paying ever since!
<strong>Spotify reaches one million subscribers - Spotify...</strong> Here at World Spinner we are debating the same thing......
Great for Spotify. Next goal is the United States...
Fantastic- great value for money. Keep on keeping on!
I have ca 1000 CD´s at home . I do not search among them anymore . I just go to Stopify ! Blixten41 in Sweden.
Thanks for a flawless service, but I would recommend a news service as an option and some crossfade application as well as random between the playlists. Thanks anways for a smart radio solution!
Congratulations!! And now US
Was it me ? :p I just purchased my account few days ago haha Anyway, keep up the good work ! Congratulations from France !
Congratulations! Just singed up for premium! And I am really excited about it!
What is needed is a proper iPad client... instead of a scaled up iPhone client, which isn't even as slick as the android one...
Well done Spotify! Does this mean we are a step closer to a iPad app? (or HTML5 web app?) http://www.didgeroo.com
I'm totally hooked on Spotify, that's why I have tried to spread their existence to all my friends and acquaintances. So now you owe me a little part of your success. As a suggestion, it would be great if we could read the lyrics of every song while we listen to it. In any case, congratulations and keep up the good work!!!
Congratulations! Please give us a proper iPad client and AirPlay support ... I love spotify premium ;)
Keep up the good work too make the Spotify premium more attractive. Please give us an app for the Boxee Box
Might I ask who the artist is of that wonderful image above? By the way, congrats.
YO! Congratulations!! What do u think about a better integration with Growl?
Congratulations! But you really haven't solved the moonbase problem yet. Why can I not teleport using Android yet? It's not all about iPhones!!!1111oneoneone - How about a little less snarky bullshit, ey commenters?
Congratulations! I hope Spotify will keep getting more paying subscribers.
Bien joué !!! Bonne continuation ;)
Hooray! Surely this is the first time in history a subscription music service gets this big, and considering that it's only available in a handful of countries and only since October 2008, it's even more remarkable. Looking back, what is incredible is that neither Apple (with Itunes) nor Google (with Youtube) did it. It was Ek who did it. And of course this is only the beginning. Paid subscriptors are up more than three times versus one year ago, and this thing is only getting bigger. Once you enjoy having all of your music, anywhere, anytime, transferred automatically over the mighty Internet, there's no going back - other ways of consuming music are just too clunky and/or expensive. PS: but please make the Iphone app a little less buggy! :D
I LOVE SPOTIFY!
