SPOTIFY has assured Spotify Premium users they won’t have to listen to adverts any time soon after rumours of a change to the streaming service began circulating on social media.
Spotify Premium is a paid subscription of £11.99 per month that unlocks ad-free listening, the ability to play songs in any order, and higher quality audio.
In a now deleted post on Twitter/x, one user threatened to cancel their subscription if ads were added to the Spotify Premium service.
The post said: “I’ve just heard that apparently Spotify is going to put ads into premium.
“I’ve had Premium for about 10 years and I tell you this, the SECOND I hear an ad on my Premium account I’m cancelling my subscription.
“The SECOND. I’m out.”
This rumor is false. Premium music listening is ad-free

The post drew a lot of attention with many other Spotify Premium users sharing similar sentiments.
Spotify moved quickly to squash the rumours, assuring Premium subscribers that adverts would not be coming to their paid-for platform.
The official Spotify X account responded: “This rumour is false. Premium music listening is ad-free.”
What is Spotify Receiptify?
Spotify fans are obsessing over a new feature on the music and podcast streaming platform.
The new online feature can be used to analyse your Spotify listening habits and present your results in receipt form.
Receiptify is a third-party app which can give you a stylised receipt of your listening history over the course of a month, a year, or many other time periods.
The platform takes listening data from your Spotify login and presents the information in the form of a receipt.
Each receipt can be produced based on your favourite artist, favourite songs, favourite genres, or a host of other criteria.
While you can customise the time period that is being analysed and create your own Spotify Wrapped alternative.
To create yours, go to Receiptify.herokuapp.com and log in to your Spotify account.
After giving permission for the tool to access your Spotify data you will be able to create a receipt based on your music taste based on different listening metrics.
Once your results come through in the form of a receipt, you can save the image and share with your friends, and also use the data to create a new playlist which will appear directly in your Spotify app.
