Songkick Adds 100,000 New Users With Spotify App In Just 4 Months.

(UPDATED) Concert app Songkick shared today that they registered 100,000 new users since launching a special Spoitfy app less than four months ago. The company says that millions of personalized concert  alerts for 50,000 concerts have been sent to users who registered through Spotify. Songkick's success on the platform is also good news for Spotify who bet that a growing echo-system of apps will help them fight off increasingly aggressive competition from Rdio, Deezer, Rhapsody and others.

Fans using the app receive email alerts when artists they are tracking in their Spotify library announce new shows in cities they've selected. Songkick recently raised $10 Million from Sequoia Capital, and is also backed by Index Ventures and Y Combinator.
