How many paid subscribers does Spotify have? As of the first quarter of 2025, Spotify had 268 million premium subscribers worldwide, up from 239 million in the corresponding quarter of 2024. Spotify’s subscriber base has increased dramatically in the last few years and has more than doubled since early 2019. Spotify and competitors Spotify is a music streaming service originally founded in 2006 in Sweden. The platform can be used from various devices and allows users to browse through a catalogue of music licensed through multiple record labels, as well as creating and sharing playlists with other users. Additionally, listeners are able to enjoy music for free with advertisements or are also given the option to purchase a subscription to allow for unlimited ad-free music streaming. Spotify’s largest competitors are Pandora, a company that offers a similar service and remains popular in the United States, and Apple Music, which was launched in 2015. While Pandora was once among the highest-grossing music apps in the Apple App Store, recent rankings show that global services like QQ Music, NetEase Cloud Music, and YouTube Music now generate higher monthly revenues.Users are also able to register Spotify accounts using Facebook directly through the website using an app. This enables them to connect with other Facebook friends and explore their music tastes and playlists. Spotify is a popular source for keeping up-to-date with music, and the ability to enjoy Spotify anywhere at any time allows consumers to shape their music consumption around their lifestyles and preferences.
This dataset provides detailed metadata and audio analysis for a wide collection of Spotify music tracks across various genres. It includes track-level information such as popularity, tempo, energy, danceability, and other musical features that can be used for music recommendation systems, genre classification, or trend analysis. The dataset is a rich source for exploring music consumption patterns and user preferences based on song characteristics.
This dataset contains rows of individual music tracks, each described by both metadata (such as track name, artist, album, and genre) and quantitative audio features. These features reflect different musical attributes such as energy, acousticness, instrumentalness, valence, and more, making it ideal for audio machine learning projects and exploratory data analysis.

Spotify Million Playlist Dataset Challenge
Summary
The Spotify Million Playlist Dataset Challenge consists of a dataset and evaluation to enable research in music recommendations. It is a continuation of the RecSys Challenge 2018, which ran from January to July 2018. The dataset contains 1,000,000 playlists, including playlist titles and track titles, created by users on the Spotify platform between January 2010 and October 2017. The evaluation task is automatic playlist continuation: given a seed playlist title and/or initial set of tracks in a playlist, to predict the subsequent tracks in that playlist. This is an open-ended challenge intended to encourage research in music recommendations, and no prizes will be awarded (other than bragging rights).
Background
Playlists like Today’s Top Hits and RapCaviar have millions of loyal followers, while Discover Weekly and Daily Mix are just a couple of our personalized playlists made especially to match your unique musical tastes.
Our users love playlists too. In fact, the Digital Music Alliance, in their 2018 Annual Music Report, state that 54% of consumers say that playlists are replacing albums in their listening habits.
But our users don’t love just listening to playlists, they also love creating them. To date, over 4 billion playlists have been created and shared by Spotify users. People create playlists for all sorts of reasons: some playlists group together music categorically (e.g., by genre, artist, year, or city), by mood, theme, or occasion (e.g., romantic, sad, holiday), or for a particular purpose (e.g., focus, workout). Some playlists are even made to land a dream job, or to send a message to someone special.
The other thing we love here at Spotify is playlist research. By learning from the playlists that people create, we can learn all sorts of things about the deep relationship between people and music. Why do certain songs go together? What is the difference between “Beach Vibes” and “Forest Vibes”? And what words do people use to describe which playlists?
By learning more about nature of playlists, we may also be able to suggest other tracks that a listener would enjoy in the context of a given playlist. This can make playlist creation easier, and ultimately help people find more of the music they love.
Dataset
To enable this type of research at scale, in 2018 we sponsored the RecSys Challenge 2018, which introduced the Million Playlist Dataset (MPD) to the research community. Sampled from the over 4 billion public playlists on Spotify, this dataset of 1 million playlists consist of over 2 million unique tracks by nearly 300,000 artists, and represents the largest public dataset of music playlists in the world. The dataset includes public playlists created by US Spotify users between January 2010 and November 2017. The challenge ran from January to July 2018, and received 1,467 submissions from 410 teams. A summary of the challenge and the top scoring submissions was published in the ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology.
In September 2020, we re-released the dataset as an open-ended challenge on AIcrowd.com. The dataset can now be downloaded by registered participants from the Resources page.
Each playlist in the MPD contains a playlist title, the track list (including track IDs and metadata), and other metadata fields (last edit time, number of playlist edits, and more). All data is anonymized to protect user privacy. Playlists are sampled with some randomization, are manually filtered for playlist quality and to remove offensive content, and have some dithering and fictitious tracks added to them. As such, the dataset is not representative of the true distribution of playlists on the Spotify platform, and must not be interpreted as such in any research or analysis performed on the dataset.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the music streaming service Spotify reached an all-time high with 675 million active users worldwide. This marked an increase of around 12 percent in just one year. What is Spotify? Spotify is a music streaming service that offers digital audio content. Basic audio content can be accessed for free whereas premium user subscriptions enable users to access offline mobile content as well as listen to music without advertising. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the company reported 263 million paying subscribers. Launched in 2008, Spotify originated in Sweden before expanding to European markets and the United States in 2011. Spotify’s U.S. launch was strongly marketed through Facebook, with the music streaming app profiting from the social listening integration via social media. Part of Spotify’s appeal can be attributed to the user- and brand-curated playlists, which can be shared publicly or between friends. Fans may choose what to listen to based on their current mood or preference, and the ability to share such content provides an element of social connectivity ordinarily reserved for networking sites.
This dataset contains customer reviews and ratings for the Spotify application, collected directly from the Google Play Store. It offers insight into user experiences and satisfaction with one of the world's largest music streaming services, which serves over 422 million monthly active users [1]. The data provides a valuable resource for understanding public sentiment towards the application and identifying factors that contribute to user satisfaction or dissatisfaction [1]. The data was collected by scraping Spotify reviews from the Google Play Store [1].
The dataset comprises 61,594 rows (or records) of Spotify app reviews [2]. The data is typically available in a CSV file format [3]. Review ratings range from 1 to 5, with 22,095 reviews rated 4.80 - 5.00, and 17,653 reviews rated 1.00 - 1.20 [4]. The number of 'thumbs up' for reviews ranges from 0 to 8195, with the vast majority (61,378 reviews) having between 0 and 409.75 thumbs up [5].
This dataset is ideal for various analytical applications, including: * Sentiment analysis to gauge overall user sentiment towards the Spotify app [1]. * Identifying key themes and reasons behind 1-star and 5-star reviews to understand user satisfaction drivers and pain points [1]. * Analysing trends in user feedback over time. * Developing machine learning models for text classification or natural language processing (NLP). * Understanding the impact of app updates or changes on user perception.
The dataset covers reviews submitted between 1st January 2022 and 9th July 2022 [2]. The reviews were collected globally from the Google Play Store [2, 6]. There are no specific demographic notes on data availability, as it is based on publicly available app store reviews.

MGD: Music Genre Dataset
Over recent years, the world has seen a dramatic change in the way people consume music, moving from physical records to streaming services. Since 2017, such services have become the main source of revenue within the global recorded music market. Therefore, this dataset is built by using data from Spotify. It provides a weekly chart of the 200 most streamed songs for each country and territory it is present, as well as an aggregated global chart.
Considering that countries behave differently when it comes to musical tastes, we use chart data from global and regional markets from January 2017 to December 2019, considering eight of the top 10 music markets according to IFPI: United States (1st), Japan (2nd), United Kingdom (3rd), Germany (4th), France (5th), Canada (8th), Australia (9th), and Brazil (10th).
We also provide information about the hit songs and artists present in the charts, such as all collaborating artists within a song (since the charts only provide the main ones) and their respective genres, which is the core of this work. MGD also provides data about musical collaboration, as we build collaboration networks based on artist partnerships in hit songs. Therefore, this dataset contains:
Genre Networks: Success-based genre collaboration networks
Genre Mapping: Genre mapping from Spotify genres to super-genres
Artist Networks: Success-based artist collaboration networks
Artists: Some artist data
Hit Songs: Hit Song data and features
Charts: Enhanced data from Spotify Weekly Top 200 Charts

The dataset provides information on the daily top 200 tracks listened to by users of the Spotify digital platform around the world.
I put together this dataset because I really love music (I listen to it for several hours a day) and have not found a similar dataset with track genres on kaggle.
The dataset can be useful for beginners in the field of working with data. It contains missing values, arrays in columns, and so on, which can be great practice when conducting an EDA phase.
Soon, my example will appear here as possible, based on the specified dataset, go on a musical journey around the world and understand how the musical tastes of humanity have changed around the world)))
In addition, I will be very happy to see the work of the community on this dataset.
Also, in case of interest in data by country, I am ready to place it upon request.

Analysis of ‘Spotify Recommendation’ provided by Analyst-2 (analyst-2.ai), based on source dataset retrieved from https://www.kaggle.com/bricevergnou/spotify-recommendation on 28 January 2022.
--- Dataset description provided by original source is as follows ---
( You can check how I used this dataset on my github repository )
I am basically a HUGE fan of music ( mostly French rap though with some exceptions but I love music ). And someday , while browsing stuff on Internet , I found the Spotify's API . I knew I had to use it when I found out you could get information like danceability about your favorite songs just with their id's.
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/86613710/127216769-745ac143-7456-4464-bbe3-adc53872c133.png" alt="image">
Once I saw that , my machine learning instincts forced me to work on this project.
I collected 100 liked songs and 95 disliked songs
For those I like , I made a playlist of my favorite 100 songs. It is mainly French Rap , sometimes American rap , rock or electro music.
For those I dislike , I collected songs from various kind of music so the model will have a broader view of what I don't like
There is : - 25 metal songs ( Cannibal Corps ) - 20 " I don't like " rap songs ( PNL ) - 25 classical songs - 25 Disco songs
I didn't include any Pop song because I'm kinda neutral about it
From the Spotify's API "Get a playlist's Items" , I turned the playlists into json formatted data which cointains the ID and the name of each track ( ids/yes.py and ids/no.py ). NB : on the website , specify "items(track(id,name))" in the fields format , to avoid being overwhelmed by useless data.
With a script ( ids/ids_to_data.py ) , I turned the json data into a long string with each ID separated with a comma.
Now I just had to enter the strings into the Spotify API "Get Audio Features from several tracks" and get my data files ( data/good.json and data/dislike.json )
From Spotify's API documentation :
And the variable that has to be predicted :

The main idea of Moodify project is to classify songs not only based on their lyrical and musical features, but also incorporating emotions, in order to provide users with more successful recommendation outputs. Moodify aims to categorize songs into four main emotions and utilize the similarities in musical features within these categories to offer users more effective recommendations, weighting them with emotions.
In this perspective, we build LGBM model to predict emotions of songs and we use this dataset in our both test and recommendation phases. It contains nearly 278.000 songs from Spotify and all songs emotionally labeled.
You can find more information about project and dataset in our project's GitHub repository.

Labels:
Acousticness: A confidence measure from 0.0 to 1.0 of whether the track is acoustic. 1.0 represents high confidence the track is acoustic.
Danceability: Danceability describes how suitable a track is for dancing based on a combination of musical elements including tempo, rhythm stability, beat strength, and overall regularity. A value of 0.0 is least danceable and 1.0 is most danceable.
Energy: Energy is a measure from 0.0 to 1.0 and represents a perceptual measure of intensity and activity. Typically, energetic tracks feel fast, loud, and noisy. For example, death metal has high energy, while a Bach prelude scores low on the scale. Perceptual features contributing to this attribute include dynamic range, perceived loudness, timbre, onset rate, and general entropy.
Instrumentalness: Predicts whether a track contains no vocals. “Ooh” and “aah” sounds are treated as instrumental in this context. Rap or spoken word tracks are clearly “vocal”. The closer the instrumentalness value is to 1.0, the greater likelihood the track contains no vocal content. Values above 0.5 are intended to represent instrumental tracks, but confidence is higher as the value approaches 1.0.
Liveness: Detects the presence of an audience in the recording. Higher liveness values represent an increased probability that the track was performed live. A value above 0.8 provides a strong likelihood that the track is live.
Loudness: the overall loudness of a track in decibels (dB). Loudness values are averaged across the entire track and are useful for comparing the relative loudness of tracks. Loudness is the quality of a sound that is the primary psychological correlate of physical strength (amplitude). Values typically range between -60 and 0 db.
Speechiness: Speechiness detects the presence of spoken words in a track. The more exclusively speech-like the recording (e.g. talk show, audiobook, poetry), the closer to 1.0 the attribute value. Values above 0.66 describe tracks that are probably made entirely of spoken words. Values between 0.33 and 0.66 describe tracks that may contain both music and speech, either in sections or layered, including such cases as rap music. Values below 0.33 most likely represent music and other non-speech-like tracks.
Valence: A measure from 0.0 to 1.0 describing the musical positiveness conveyed by a track. Tracks with high valence sound more positive (e.g. happy, cheerful, euphoric), while tracks with low valence sound more negative (e.g. sad, depressed, angry).
Tempo: The overall estimated tempo of a track in beats per minute (BPM). In musical terminology, the tempo is the speed or pace of a given piece and derives directly from the average beat duration.

The Spotify Music Streaming Sessions Dataset (MSSD) consists of 160 million streaming sessions with associated user interactions, audio features and metadata describing the tracks streamed during the sessions, and snapshots of the playlists listened to during the sessions.
This dataset enables research on important problems including how to model user listening and interaction behaviour in streaming, as well as Music Information Retrieval (MIR), and session-based sequential recommendations.
