Spotify Facing Major Outage – Users Worldwide Report Crashes
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Tens of thousands of Spotify users worldwide reported being unable to stream music or use core app features on Wednesday, with Downdetector logging over 20,000 outage reports by 13:30 GMT.

The disruption, which impacted users across the UK, US, and parts of Europe, left subscribers unable to search for artists or access online content—though downloaded music remained playable.

Spotify, which boasts 675 million global users, confirmed it was “aware of the outage” and working on a fix, while dismissing rumors of a security breach as “completely inaccurate.”

User Frustration Grows as App Displays “Something Went Wrong” Error

Affected customers encountered repeated error messages when attempting to search for music, with the app displaying “something went wrong” before timing out.

While offline listening functioned normally, the outage disrupted workouts, study sessions, and daily routines—prompting a wave of complaints on social media.

“We’re aware of some issues and are checking them out,” Spotify posted on its @SpotifyStatus X account as frustration mounted.

The service failure has intensified competition among streaming platforms, with frustrated users vowing to migrate to rivals.

Gym-goers and students were particularly vocal, with one subscriber tweeting, “This is why I pay for Apple Music as backup.”

The outage comes as Spotify faces growing pressure from competitors like YouTube Music and Amazon Music Unlimited, all vying for dominance in the $40 billion global streaming market.

A Technical Breakdown Of What Went Wrong

Though Spotify has not disclosed the outage’s root cause, tech analysts speculate it may involve server overloads or API failures given the widespread search and streaming disruptions.

The company’s swift denial of hacking claims suggests an internal infrastructure issue rather than external sabotage. Historically, similar outages have stemmed from failed updates or cloud service interruptions.

As of the time of publication, Spotify’s team continues working to restore full functionality, directing users to its status page for real-time updates.

The platform’s last major outage in 2022 lasted nearly five hours—a benchmark that has subscribers nervously refreshing their apps.

With no estimated resolution time provided, the incident serves as a reminder of streaming services’ vulnerability to technical disruptions.
