Spotify\u2019s long-running global growth doesn\u2019t seem to be slowing and with the huge success of their podcasts their 2020 seems to be unaffected by the global impact of Coronavirus.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n

Spotify have unveiled their second quarter results<\/a> in perhaps the most dramatic and uncertain year since they launched over a decade ago. Following on from years of continuous growth it looks like their new markets and increased focus on podcasts have kept them sailing forward.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Q2 2020 financial results show that their total Monthly Active Users (MAUs) grew by an incredible 29% year on year. Their total MAUs around the world is now 299 million and still growing at an impressive rate.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spotify finished Q2 2020 with 138 million subscribers which was an increase of 27% year on year. A hugely positive result but notably shows that uptake in free users is still larger than paying subscribers. Closing the gap between free and paying subscribers to move towards a majority Premium user base has been Spotify\u2019s ultimate goal in recent years.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has also been an increasing focus on their podcast content which they introduced in 2017<\/a> and have focussed on hard in the last 2 years. Now 21% of Spotify\u2019s total users are \u201cengaging\u201d with podcast content which is 2% higher than the first quarter of 2020. Spotify have signed high profile podcasts exclusively to their platform like The Joe Rogan Experience<\/a> to grow with both podcast and music lovers.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst the report shows that growth was slowed slightly, probably in relation to COVID, in April and May across Latine America and \u201cRest of World\u201d – including an increase in failed subscription payments – June then saw a positive rebound across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
