Between April and June, Spotify added 36 million monthly active users, taking its total to 551 million. A subscription is required for 220 million of them.

Over the same period last year, the company’s pre-tax losses were €90m, compared to €241m this year. While sales rose to €3.1bn, analysts expected €3.2bn.

After the company announced its results, its share price dropped by more than 11%, according to Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek.

According to Mr. Ek, Artificial Intelligence (AI) could play a role in the future, including summarizing podcasts and making audio advertising easier and cheaper.

It unveiled its “AI DJ” in February, which it described as a personalised “DJ in your pocket” that plays music and offers commentary.

In a statement on Monday, Spotify said it was raising prices “to help us deliver value to our fans and artists”.

Users will have a one-month grace period before the new price takes effect, unless they cancel before then.
