Spotify Outages: Fun Facts and Trends

Here are some fried (fun, spicy, or little-known) facts about Spotify outages:

1. The Great Spotify Crash of 2021

In March 2021, Spotify went down globally for over an hour, leaving millions of users in silence. Memes flooded Twitter, with people joking about having to 'talk to their families' or 'listen to their own thoughts.'

2. Blame It on the Cloud

Many of Spotify’s outages are tied to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), which Spotify relies on for hosting. A 2020 outage was caused by Google’s authentication servers failing, locking users out of their accounts.

3. The 'Silent Playlist' Glitch

In 2019, a bug caused some playlists to appear empty—even though songs were technically there. Users freaked out, thinking their music was deleted, but it was just a backend hiccup.

4. Outages = More Pirated Music?

When Spotify goes down, traffic to illegal music sites spikes. A 2018 study found that piracy sites saw a 30% increase in visits during major streaming outages.

5. The Mysterious 'Too Many Requests' Error

In 2020, users were hit with a '429: Too Many Requests' error, making Spotify unusable. Turns out, an internal system was accidentally bombarding its own servers with requests.

6. The 'Premium Only' Outage Irony

In 2017, only Premium users were affected by an outage, while free-tier users kept streaming. Spotify later joked, 'This is why you don’t pay for things.'

7. When Artists Panic Too

Outages don’t just affect listeners—artists lose streaming revenue when Spotify is down. Some indie musicians have tweeted frustrations over losing thousands of plays.

8. The 'Spotify Wrapped' Glitch

In 2022, some users couldn’t access their Spotify Wrapped due to server overload. The company had to stagger releases to handle the traffic.

9. Competitors Love Spotify Outages

When Spotify crashes, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Tidal see surges in traffic. Competitors have even tweeted cheeky invites to frustrated Spotify users.

10. The 'We’re Aware' Tweet Cycle

Every time Spotify goes down, their support account tweets:

'Something’s not quite right… We’re looking into it!'
Fans now meme this phrase whenever the service acts up.

Bonus: The Longest Outage?

Spotify’s worst downtime lasted nearly 4 hours in 2016, caused by a DNS misconfiguration.

Would you survive a Spotify outage, or would you go back to CDs? 😆🎵
