According to Visual Capitalist: Spotify has a relatively short history, launching in Europe in 2008, and eventually moving into the U.S. market in 2011. Since then, the Stockholm-based company has become the world’s most popular audio streaming service with 456 million users across 183 markets. With such a large userbase, major artists on Spotify have seen their biggest hits accumulate millions, if not billions of streams.
