In 2024, Spotify reached a historic record by contributing $10 billion to the global music industry, totaling nearly $60 billion since its inception.
This increase was possible thanks to its expansion in emerging markets like India, Brazil, and Nigeria, where the platform has adapted prices and strategies to boost its user base.
Its success lies in a combination of paid subscriptions, free access with advertising, and a focus on personalization, thanks to which it currently exceeds 500 million users and projects reaching one billion in the near future.
According to the news agency EFE, the Swedish platform has not only revolutionized music consumption globally but has also been key to strengthening the careers of musicians and singers, promoting long-term sustainability, and, in turn, has allowed income for artists and record labels to multiply tenfold.

In December 2024, Peso Pluma reached a significant milestone in his music career by having over 45 million monthly listeners on Spotify, solidifying himself as one of the most popular Mexican artists worldwide. This achievement reflects not only the rise of ‘corridos tumbados’ but also his ability to connect with all types of audiences and bring this genre to a global public.
