The music-streaming app Spotify is down, leaving millions of music fans in the lurch. The company is aware of an issue and says it’s checking things out. To that end, we don’t know why it’s down or how long the service will remain unavailable. It looks like both the app and web client aren’t working right now.
We’re aware of some issues right now and are checking them out!

At about 10:40AM ET, Spotify updated its X account saying it was working on the issue and also said that “the reports of this being a security hack are false.” We haven’t seen any such reports yet, but we’ll keep an eye on things to see if they offer any more details on this front.
In the meantime, feel free to check out the millions of songs on YouTube, or slide into a rival service like Apple Music or Tidal. Alternatively, you could always just hum to yourself or call an old friend. We’ll update this post when we know more about what’s going on or when it’s back.
Update, April 16, 2025, 11:04AM ET: Added details about Spotify claiming this downtime was not due to a security hack.
