Spotify's Jam Hits 100M Monthly Listening Hours
Spotify's collaborative listening feature, Jam, has hit a significant milestone, reaching 100 million monthly listening hours. This comes amidst broader changes in Spotify's business model and increased usage in cars. You, as a user, can host shared listening sessions and add songs to collaborative queues with Jam. The feature's expansion to desktop platforms on March 13, 2024, and integration with Android Auto on August 8, 2025, have contributed to its popularity. Cars have become the primary device category for Jam usage, followed by speakers, phones, and televisions. The United States, Germany, Mexico, Brazil, and Canada are the top five countries for Jam usage. Spotify's collaborative listening features have been popular among users. In the month preceding Jam's initial release, users created more than 45 million Blends and spent over 200 million hours listening to Collaborative Playlists. This growth occurs as the global recorded music market now encompasses more than 500 million paying listeners across all streaming services. Spotify's success is reflected in its payouts to music rights holders. In 2024, Spotify achieved $10 billion in annual payouts, marking a tenfold increase from $1 billion in 2014. Jam's 100 million monthly listening hours milestone underscores the popularity of collaborative listening features. As Spotify continues to innovate and expand its services, the music streaming giant's impact on the global music industry remains significant.
