Spotify goes live in Brazil
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 29 May 2014
Spotify announced yesterday that it has now gone fully live in Brazil, having been available on an invite-only basis there since earlier this month. And just in time for the World Cup and everything. Football, hey? Is the ‘Anfield Rap’ on Spotify? Yes, it is. But only the 1996 rework. Great days.
Anyway, this means that the streaming service is now live in 57 countries with a potential market reach in excess of 1.5 billion. Which possibly puts that ten million paying subscribers stat into perspective, if you’re a cynical old pessimist. Anyone?
Confirming the Brazilian excitement, Spotify said in a statement: “We are thrilled to announce that as of today, Spotify is available to everyone in Brazil. Your friends in Brazil can now join the 40 million people around the world who are enjoying a new way of listening to music”.
