Per DownDetector (which is owned by Mashable parent company Ziff Davis), Spotify outage reports began climbing around 12 p.m. CT before peaking roughly half an hour later at 12:35 p.m. CT.
No timetable has been given for when the app will be fully back up. We'll update this story as more information becomes available.
The timing for Spotify isn't ideal, as the company launched a new "Party of the Year(s)" feature on Tuesday morning. The wrap-up feature is part of the Spotify 20-year anniversary celebrations, and it presents users with their first-ever Spotify listen and other nostalgic highlights from their listening history.
