Spotify announced that it has a record 602 million users, 236 million of whom are paying audiobook members. 

Announcing Q4 2023 earnings on the following day, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said this. Ek claimed the firm had a terrific quarter, hit 600 million, and made progress with audiobooks in a short video uploaded on X before the earnings call. 

To share: two things. During this quarter, we shattered many records. Our 600 millionth user is the most remarkable. Additionally, we had a record Wrapped, surpassing last year’s Wrapped in 31 hours.

Second, audiobooks are progressing well. We achieved our goal of more than doubling industry growth. The fact that we are introducing a new audience to the book industry is excellent, Ek added.

YouTube, Google’s video and music streaming service, also said last week that it had over 100 million paid users across YouTube Music and YouTube Premium. 

Google released YouTube Music for the first time in 2015. At that time, YouTube had a $9.99-a-month Red plan that let users watch videos without ads and listen to Play Music. The Red service changed its name to YouTube Premium in 2018.
