Spotify maintains growth amid AI policy controversy; focus on compensation model and feature expansion
Spotify is maintaining its dominance in the music streaming market despite controversy over artist compensation, management’s defence-industry investment and its AI policies. It has 293 million paid subscribers and 761 million monthly active users including free users. Disputes centre on payout structures, handling of AI-generated music and plans to expand AI features, including tools to create playlists and, under a Universal licence, AI-made remixes and covers offered as a premium add-on.
