This happened despite the ongoing issues with Spotify, such as its operation suspension in Russia and the latest controversy with Joe Rogan.

This record was achieved despite the boycotts of some consumers because of Joe Rogan's issue.
The popular podcaster was criticized because of a recent interview with Dr. Robert Malone, who claimed that he was the creator of the mRNA tech.
But, many health professionals debunked this claim, saying that the statement of Malone was false. Because of this, they decided to file a complaint.
They asked Spotify to fight vaccine misinformation, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic is still affecting many countries across the globe.
On the other hand, the music platform announced that they would drop Rogan's podcasts. However, it didn't happen. Instead, Spotify said it would add a content advisory label to Rogan's episodes with repeated disinformation content.
Some are Added Due To the Spotify Login Issue
Spotify's Q1 2022 report explained that millions of the new active monthly users were added because of the recent login issue.
The platform explained that around three million users decided to create new accounts since they were not able to log in to their older ones.
