That&#8217;s a 12% increase compared to Q1 2024, and brings the total paying subscribers to 268 million.<\/p>\n<p>The streaming service has also reported a record quarterly operating income of \u20ac509 million (about $528 million). Revenue was \u20ac4.2 billion, or around $4.8 billion. Spotify now boasts that it has 678 million monthly active users, and 423 million ad-supported monthly active users, though the math doesn&#8217;t quite add up &#8211; if 423 million users are ad-supported and 268 million are paying, the total is 691 million, not 678 million.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/25\/04\/spotify-q1-results\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"Spotify had a record quarter, now has 678 million users\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Then again, the difference is small, so perhaps we&#8217;re missing something here. Anyway, controversies about how much (or rather, how little) it pays artists aside, Spotify has turned into a mature profit-making business, and it seems to be steadily growing in both user numbers as well as income. It&#8217;s still the leading music streaming service worldwide, by some margin, after all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/s29.q4cdn.com\/175625835\/files\/doc_financials\/2025\/q1\/Q1-2025-Shareholder-Deck-FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a> (PDF)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/spotify_had_a_record_quarter_now_has_678_million_users-news-67589.php\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotify has added five million premium users in the first quarter of this year (between January and March), the company has just revealed.
