Swedish streaming music giant Spotify said Wednesday it had surpassed
40 million paying subscribers, consolidating its position as world
leader.
“40 is the new 30. Million,” the company’s co-founder Daniel Ek tweeted.
A spokeswoman for the group confirmed to AFP that he was referring to paying subscribers.
The number is a 33-percent increase from March, when it had 30 million, putting it far ahead of its closest rival Apple Music which had some 15 million paying subscribers in June.
