Angela Lang/CNETIf you failed to play your favorite Spotify playlist on Tuesday, you aren’t alone. The giant music streaming service acknowledged that it was experiencing an outage Tuesday via a Twitter post and said it was investigating the incident.
“Something’s not quite right, and we’re looking into it,” Spotify tweeted. “Thanks for your reports!” Downdetector, a service that monitors online outages, showed more than 175,000 users experiencing issues with their Spotify accounts Tuesday afternoon.

In December, Amazon Web Services experienced an outage that affected multiple sites, including DoorDash, Twitch, Hulu and PlayStation Network. Last summer, a widespread outage caused by connectivity issues experienced by Akamai, a content delivery network and cloud service company, affected multiple major websites and digital services, including UPS, AT&T, Airbnb and Fortnite make Epic Games. Social media site Reddit has also been experiencing multiple outages of late.
Spotify didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
