The sudden revenue plateau in the music industry propels Spotify's decision to bump up its prices. Industry experts have long stressed the need for music streaming platforms to increase their subscription rates, explaining that current prices don't align with inflation and trail behind video streaming platforms.
Upcoming Enhancements
The price increase isn't the only thing brewing at Spotify. Rumors swirl about the introduction of a new "Super-Premium" subscription. At a higher cost, users will enjoy early access to new music, superior audio quality, and an enigmatic "DJ function." Insiders intimate that concert ticket access might be another tantalizing perk.
The rumored Super-Premium subscription is rumored to first debut in the U.S. this fall, costing about six dollars more than the current Premium subscription. While the specifics of this new tier remain a mystery, there's a growing unease that it could lead to ads in the current Premium subscription, much like what happened with video streaming services.
A Glimpse into the Future
Though the Super-Premium subscription isn't available in Europe, Latin America, or other regions yet, early indications show that the audio quality will likely be improved, with AI remixing tools and early access to concert tickets as possible features. Spotify executives have confirmed that this tier heavily relies on industry partnerships for features like exclusive content and ticket sales.
