    I know there’s a lot of music out there, but I would have guessed the number was still less than 86,000,000 on Spotify.

        I mean, if one song was released every 10 seconds, it’d take 28 years to hit 86 million songs. That sounds like a lot of Spotify.

      I read a bit of Anna’s article and if I remember correctly there are something like 256 million tracks on Spotify. Mind you this includes things like white noise tracks.

      But 86 million tracks represent 99.6% of listens or something like that. Most tracks don’t get played much if at all
