It was on September 25, 2013 when the streaming music platform arrived in Argentina, being the second country in Latin America only behind Mexico. His arrival in this South American country was only two years after the arrival of Apple’s iTunes.

Created in 2006, the company of Swedish origin initially offered a musical catalog of 20 million songs; currently has a catalog of songs from more than seven million artists who are affiliated.

Currently the platform is present in 187 territories around the world and in recent years it has been gaining greater presence throughout the world.

Today the streaming platform has agreements with Universal Music, Sony Music, EMI Music, Hollywood Records, Interscope Records, Warner Music, among others. This has allowed us to currently reach more than 365 million users according to the latest data revealed by the company itself.

Compared to its competitors, who have chosen to pay based on physical sales or downloads, Spotify has followed a model in which it has chosen to pay the artists in its catalog at a fixed price per song or album sold and number of plays.

Additionally, 70% of their total revenue goes to copyright holders, mostly record labels, who then pay artists based on their individual contracts.

It should be noted that currently anyone can enjoy the free Spotify service, as long as you are willing to put up with ads and with restrictions such as not being able to skip some songs. either there is various plans that can be adjusted to your needs and your pocket.

The coronavirus pandemic not only benefited podcasts by increasing their number of users, but also audiobooks also added more consumers on various platforms, including Spotify, as it is estimated that they can leave annual profits of up to 70 billion dollars.

The streaming platform, where audiobooks have been growing by 20%has turned to book narration with the voices of Hollywood celebrities.

Its rise could also be due to criticism of the ease with which the platform has allowed podcasters to speak, falling into errors of misinformation in the midst of a pandemic, as was the case with Joe Roganwhich also caused the company to lose up to 2.1 million dollars.
