Spotify now boasts over 30 million subscribers

Spotify founder Daniel Ek has revealed that his streaming music service has over 30 million subscribers, Engadget reports. That's up 10 million compared to June 2015, and 20 million more than in 2014, the technology news website says.

Ek didn't say how many free users were in the mix, but, according to Engadget, it's safe to say that there are more than the 75 million from nearly a year ago.

Apple Music took half a year to reach 10 million subscribers, while upstarts like Tidal are carving out some space for themselves.
