On February 6, 2025, Warner Music Group and Spotify announced a new multi-year agreement covering both recorded music and music publishing. This deal aims to strengthen their commitment to artists, songwriters, and fans, while fostering growth in the music ecosystem through innovative collaboration.
The agreement is designed to deliver new fan experiences, expand the music and video catalog, introduce further paid subscription tiers, and offer differentiated content bundles. It also reinforces the companies' alignment on 'artist centric' royalty models, which reward artists for attracting and engaging audiences.
A key aspect of the new publishing agreement is the introduction of a direct licensing model with Warner Chappell Music in several additional countries, including the U.S. This model is expected to reinforce benefits for songwriters in the evolving digital landscape.
