A BIG NEW NUMBER FOR SPOTIFY
Spotify has tweeted out a big milestone: 50 million subscribers. The streaming behemoth, which is still attempting to close its licensing deals with the rights holders, currently represents more than 60% of the streaming marketplace (more about that later). In the meantime, Daniel Ek has approved extra lingonberries on staffers' pancakes.
Thank you to our 50 million subscribers. #Spotify50 pic.twitter.com/eXkOV71bwu
