For some time now, the music industry has been anticipating a big milestone for Spotify: 100 million active users.
Actually, though, the more important milestone to think about is 30 million paying subscribers – a figure that the Financial Times claims Spotify will reach by the summer.
“Spotify’s most recent subscriber numbers were released last June when it said it had 75m active users, of which 20m were paying subscribers. It added 8m paying users by the end of 2015 and is on course to hit 30m in the next three months,” reported the FT.
