Spotify’s New Premium Plan For Couples Will Make You A Playlist That Combines Your Music Tastes

It’s inevitable that anyone who lives together will end up sharing pretty much everything. Comfy jumpers? Definitely. Food? You bet, as long as you don’t raid my chocolate stash. And of course you’re going to make your lucky boo or housemate listen to all your favourite tunes, a selfless act that’s just been made easier thanks to the new Spotify Premium Duo.

The new subscription plan gives two people who live together (maybe your partner, housemate, or favourite parent?) their own Spotify Premium account on the same plan.

A Premium Duo account costs $15.99 per month, so you’re both getting Spotify Premium for less than the cost of two individual Premium accounts. And if there’s one thing we love more than a perfectly curated playlist, it’s a good deal.

But the beauty of Premium Duo is that you’ll each get your own account, meaning your flawless music taste won’t be tainted by their country rock, gothic metal, or weird collection of banjo albums. (Guys, we love you, but there are only so many times we can listen to the soundtrack of your favourite musical.)

You’ll get all the regular Premium benefits across two different accounts, like ad-free music, on-demand and offline listening, and access to more than 50 million songs and one million podcast titles.

But you’ll also get access to exclusive features like Duo Mix, a brand-new playlist that’s regularly updated with music and podcasts you both enjoy. Finally, no more arguing over who gets to pick the road trip playlist or what amazing podcast you’re going to listen to. There’s a massive range of podcasts on Spotify like Reply All, My Favourite Murder, You’re Wrong About, and Modern Love so you and your Duo partner have plenty to choose from.

Existing users can upgrade to Premium Duo and invite another person who lives at the same address to join at any time. Switching over won’t erase your listening history or preferences, so you can begin cultivating your new joint playlist straight away.
