This healthy bump to Spotify’s userbase that suggests some of the streaming company’s more recent moves have proved popular with users.

What’s more, it widens the gap between Spotify and its biggest rival Apple Music.

Apple Music passed 20 million subscribers in December.

Meanwhiile, Tidal sits at a distant third with 3 million subscribers (at least officially).
