When Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon founded Spotify in April 2006, they were two Stockholm entrepreneurs with a prototype so skeletal that Per Roman, the cofounder of investors Bullhound Capital, who would later back the company, says his first look at it was "world-changing," despite there barely being a product to look at.

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.

Spotify is rolling out a new feature that's meant to make transitions in between tracks even smoother.

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.

Even skeptical Reddit traders shifted sentiment from 58.4 to 62.0 as the company demonstrated it can grow users while expanding margins.

Today, what we've really built is a technology platform for audio - and increasingly, for all the ways creators connect with audiences. And this identity will matter even more going forward,
