Spotify appears to be down worldwide

If you’re experiencing some silence via Spotify at the moment, know you’re not the only one.

Spotify is down for many users today, with problems reported on both mobile devices and desktops. Songs aren’t playing and many artist and album pages aren’t loading.

The music platform took to Twitter to acknowledge the issue and confirm it was investigating.

According to Downdetector, a site that tracks the status of major websites in real time, there have been over 7,500 reports of outages worldwide on Spotify today. (Editor’s note: Downdetector is owned by Mashable’s parent company, Ziff Davis).

Mashable has reached out to Spotify for further information.

Suffice to say, users are not happy. No update on whether things are running smoothly yet — so in the meantime, maybe turn to YouTube or Apple Music.

UPDATE: Apr. 19, 2023, 1:57 p.m. EDT According to Spotify, services are now up and running. The company tweeted that “everything’s looking much better now.”
