Spotify released its “Party of the Year(s)” campaign to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

Spotify's new 'Fitness' hub will feature workouts and playlists from established wellness creators, making it a comprehensive platform for fitness enthusiasts.

The redesigned tablet UI isn't just a scaled up phone version as before. Instead, it's designed to take advantage of the extra screen real estate, so you can browse and discover new favorites right alongside what you're already playing.

The updated tablet UI now provides adaptive orientation, switching between portrait and landscape layouts rather than simply resizing the interface when changing how the device is held.

"Independent venues are the heartbeat of live music. They're where artists take risks, build devoted communities, and where fans discover what they'll love for the rest of their lives."

Spotify is rolling out a new feature that's meant to make transitions in between tracks even smoother. If you'll recall, the streaming service released the ability to create customized transitions within playlists in August last year. It gave people a way to create uninterrupted progressions and eliminate awkward silences between songs.

Ticketing marketplace SeatGeek has a partnership with Spotify that will direct an artist's fans to its platform from the Spotify app. The integration is currently limited to a few participating venues for which SeatGeek is the primary ticket seller. While SeatGeek is one of the largest online marketplaces for the secondary ticketing market, the company's announcement makes clear that this Spotify integration only applies to venues where it's the primary ticketing company.

Spotify Technology (NYSE:SPOT) surged 14% after delivering Q4 2025 earnings that validated its transformation from cash-burning disruptor to profitable streaming giant, as investors rewarded the company's ability to expand margins while growing users, a combination that eluded the platform for years as it battled music licensing costs and competition from Apple and Amazon. Even skeptical Reddit traders shifted sentiment from 58.4 to 62.0 as the company demonstrated it can grow users while expanding margins.

Spotify announced Tuesday that it hit 751 million total monthly active users (MAUs) for quarter-four of 2025. That record-high is an 11 percent jump from the year before and a significant bump from the third quarter's 713 million MAUs. The quarterly earnings report also showed a 10 percent jump year-over-year in Premium subscribers, from 263 million to 290 million. Europe makes up the greatest number of the Swedish company's premium subscribers (36 percent), with North America coming second at 25 percent.

Spotify and Apple Music are two of the leading music streaming services, popular for their vast music libraries. Beyond the music, however, Apple Music offers subscribers access to the company's live studio performances, radio interviews, and music videos, while Spotify's additional subscription perks lean heavily into audiobooks and podcasts. Unlike Apple's hardware devices, Apple Music doesn't block many features to Android users, unless their device doesn't support Dolby Atmos. Otherwise, Android users can experience a robust Apple Music experience.

If you use Spotify and enjoy looking up lyrics for songs, you'll be happy. Spotify is rolling out an update that brings lyrics up into the Now Playing screen and right into view. The update is apparently a server-side one and has been spotted by a few Reddit users. They began noticing the current song lyric showing up just under the album art in the Now Playing main screen.
