When is spotify coming to singapore

If you're seeing this message, that means JavaScript has been disabled on your browser. We mistakenly leaked last week that Spotify is set to launch in Singapore. But, wait! In a nutshell, simple to search for songs, create playlists, use Spotify radio, and one-click sharing to Facebook with your friends.

Krishnan said:. Asia has always been on the roadmap for us. We always have an eye for Asia. We take as long as we want to create that perfect [service]… for this part of the world. Spotify is available in over 23 markets with one billion playlists created. It has 24 million active users and six million paying subscribers. A few minutes later, our interview is finished and in her place sits Chee Meng Tan.

However, the company has not been immune to criticism over how it treats artists. Over the years, members of famous bands such as Radiohead, the Black Keys and Talking Heads have said that the service does not pay artists enough and, in , Taylor Swift pulled her entire catalogue from Spotify for similar reasons.

Tan is, nevertheless, unperturbed and believes Spotify does well for musicians in Southeast Asia. Yet the company emphasises that both revenues and subscribers are on the rise. We now have over 75 million active users and 20 million paying subscribers globally. Working in different countries can also have its challenges. One of the difficulties for a record label is how to keep that physical business while transitioning to the digital.

Education, he says, is the answer. I was helping them understand how to make full use of Spotify, how to build connections with their listeners and then convert them into fans. Basically, how to unlock the full value [of their music]. Tan is optimistic about the future. If the statistics are anything to go by, he has good reasons to be so. Last year, he says, the Philippines saw digital music sales overtake physical.

So Asia presents a phenomenal growth. There is also the fact that the profusion of devices capable of using Spotify is growing in the region. In the US, iOS is huge. And, which is good news for us, these devices are becoming more accessible and affordable.
