Spotify launched stateside almost one month ago, and we’re hearing that it already has 1.4 million users signed up for its free trial. Some 175,000 folks are shelling out cash for a subscription.
The numbers come from All Things Digital, who cite “a source familiar with the company’s operations.”
We’ve reached out to Spotify for confirmation, but expect a response similar to the one we received after it was reported that the service hit 70,000 registered users after one week: “The launch of Spotify in the US has exceeded our expectations in both the response to invitations for the free service as well as subscriptions. We aren’t going to discuss numbers at this stage but we are excited to be here and confident that Americans will love Spotify as much as they already do in Europe.”For comparison’s sake, Rhapsody recently announced that it has 800,000 users, and it launched 10 years ago. Most other music services do not report user count.
