Is Spotify down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with Spotify right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Spotify continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are website / app down, can't log in, music won't play, search not working, downloads failing and playlists missing. Those are the options the report button offers for Spotify, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Spotify specifically, playback, the catalogue, playlists and Spotify Connect are separate. You can browse normally while nothing plays, Connect depends on your local network rather than Spotify, and a rights change can pull a track in your country without anything failing. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For Spotify, open the web player at open.spotify.com. Playing there while the app does not points at the app or its cache rather than Spotify. If Connect cannot see your speakers while playback itself works, that is your local network, since Connect discovers devices on it directly. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Spotify's side. Specifically: do not log out to fix playback. Logging out clears your offline downloads, which are the one thing that still works during an incident, and logging back in needs the service you are waiting on. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. Spotify does not publish a machine-readable status feed, so we cannot read a verdict from them. We probe spotify.com directly over HTTP, fall back to an ICMP ping if that is inconclusive, and weigh reports from visitors. That means we can tell you the service is unreachable, but not what Spotify says about it. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Spotify or spotify.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Spotify's own support, not us.
