Spotify is leaping on the “Tales” bandwagon with Spotify Clips. At its online-only Stream On occasion on Monday, Spotify introduced Spotify Clips — à la Snapchat and Instagram Tales — that will likely be out there on Spotify artist pages, and can permit them to attach with followers in a brand new approach. The ever-expanding rollout of “Tales” (an ephemeral solution to share photographs and movies, normally for twenty-four hours) throughout platforms has develop into a little bit of working joke — it is even out there on LinkedIn (why?) — and it is solely pure / inevitable that Spotify would wish to get into “Tales” as nicely. Spotify Clips is at the moment in testing.
In fact, in contrast to different platforms, Spotify Clips will behave very in another way — it will not be out there to everybody for one. Listeners, individuals such as you and me, will not get to share their very own “Tales”. As an alternative, solely choose creators with a Spotify for Artists web page will be capable of add photographs and movies to Spotify Clips. Alongside the Stream On occasion, Spotify introduced that over 10,000 Indian artists have claimed their Spotify for Artists profiles because the world’s greatest music subscription service launched within the South Asian market two years in the past.

“Tales” have been basically to rising platforms’ every day lively customers, with Instagram revealing in 2019 that 500 million customers take a look at Instagram Tales each day. This raises an attention-grabbing level: why would followers not simply sustain with their favorite artists on Instagram, the place they already are, as a substitute of opening one other app? Possibly if there’s unique content material. Spotify will hope that artists do this — driving individuals to come back to Spotify Clips, and keep afterwards to play some songs.
Spotify now has greater than 345 million month-to-month lively customers and over 155 million paid subscribers world wide, the Sweden-headquartered music big introduced earlier in February.
