More than 60,000 artists hit the exciting milestone of reaching 100,000+ monthly listeners on Spotify at some point during this year - up 42% from 42,000 in 2019. Despite this year’s devastating challenges, there’s a lot to celebrate. This year at Spotify for Artists we were focused on strengthening this vital connection, enabling creativity, and providing artists and their teams with the tools to reach the fans who, in turn, needed them.īy now, you’ve probably unwrapped your year on Spotify and are celebrating your wins with fans. While touring couldn’t happen safely this year, the connection between fan and artist was still a lifeline for both parties.

In 2020, we were all reminded of the importance of music in tough times: sometimes it was our respite from a disorienting reality other times, it provided the perfect soundtrack to help us push through.
