packed on more users than it expected in Q1 but revenue fell short of its guidance, which the company blamed on headwinds in its advertising business.
For the first quarter of 2023, the company, total monthly active users grew by 22% year-over-year to 515 million “driven by strength in both developed and developing markets, and nearly all age groups,” the company said. Spotify Premium subscribers grew to 210 million, a net gain of 5 million in the quarter, which beat its expectations with “outperformance across all regions, led by Europe and Latin America.
Total revenue grew 14% year-over-year to €3.0 billion, below Spotify’s expectation of €3.1 billion “due to macro-related variability in our advertising business.” The company reported a Q1 operating loss of €156 million, which was better than projected, helped by lower marketing spend. It was Spotify’s “strongest Q1 since going public in 2018” and the second-largest quarter of MAU growth in its history, CEO Daniel Ek tweeted.
Spotify’s MAU net additions of 26 million in the quarter were 15 million above guidance — its highest Q1 gains ever and the fifth quarter in a row of accelerating growth. Paid subscriber net additions of 5 million also reflected a “material uptick” versus the year-earlier trend and were 3 million above guidance. Spotify’s previous Q1 guidance projected 500 million monthly active users and 207 million Premium subscribers.

'Gender Queer' tops library group's list of challenged booksA new report says books with LGBTQ+ themes remain the most complained about at public schools and libraries around the country. The American Library Association announced Monday that Maia Kobabe’s graphic memoir “Gender Queer” was the most “challenged” book of 2022, the second consecutive year it has topped the list. The ALA last month reported there were more than 1,200 complaints in 2022 involving more than 2,500 different books, the highest totals since the association began compiling complaints 20 years ago. Other books facing similar criticisms include George M. Johnson’s “All Boys Aren’t Blue,” Mike Curato’s “Flamer,” Stephen Chbosky’s “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” John Green’s “Looking for Alaska,” Jonathan Evison’s “Lawn Boy” and Juno Dawson’s “This Book Is Gay.”
