All they need to do is provide a great service with as much music as possible.
I wonder if adding 'as much music as possible' would drive any growth without the AI music discovery stuff. There has to be a diminishing return to adding new songs - if Spotify adds an artist that only a few thousand people have heard of then that's only going attract a few thousand new customers at most. No one else is going to listen to that artist unless Spotify recommends the songs to people who might like them.
