Digital streaming platforms have become major factor in the music business and their relevance keeps shooting up as numbers keeps getting higher.
One of the leading audio streaming platforms is Spotify with over 489 million monthly listeners and 205 million paying subscribers, as of December 2022.
Spotify was founded on April 23, 2006, and the headquarters is based in Stockholm, Sweden.
Spotify offers digital copyright restricted recorded audio content, including more than 100 million songs and 5 million podcasts from record labels and media companies.
Ghanaian artistes are also catching up with the digital world now unlike the days back. Spotify gives out data, some are exclusive to the record labels/artists only, and some are visible to paid subscribers.
