Still, that 5 million is also almost certainly some way shy of what Spotify is pulling in with paid users right now. But we’re not content to simply keep up with the world we want to lead the charge.” One year on, we are proud to say that we have over-delivered on our promises, with more than 5 million subscribers across more than 180 countries and a team of expert editors around the world sharing their love and passion for music.
“One year ago we pledged to launch Deezer worldwide because we felt music deserved to be truly global. “Doubling the number of paid subscribers in 12 months sends a hugely encouraging signal that music streaming’s time is now,” says Axel Dauchez, Deezer’s CEO, in a statement. And to put the 5 million paying subscribers in context, this is more than double the 2 million that Deezer reported in October 2012, when it announced a monster round of $130 million in funding that the Paris-based streaming company raised to push into international markets.
Going one step past Spotify, Deezer is also now previewing a new Mac app that will integrate the service with your offline music collection, starting first with what you keep in iTunes.ĭeezer claims that its 30 million track figure makes it currently the world’s biggest music streaming provider.
Spotify may be the world’s biggest music streaming company, but rival Deezer is inching closer to its terrain: today the company revealed that it now has 5 million paying users globally and 30 million tracks on its platform and taking a page from Spotify’s playbook, it also took the covers off two new discovery features to improve engagement on the platform.
