Heads up: The popular music streaming service, Spotify, experienced an outage this morning, leaving many users unable to enjoy their favorite tunes. According to IGN's sister site Downdetector, reports of Spotify outages started rolling in around 6 a.m. PT today, with the issues persisting throughout the morning. Our team at IGN also faced difficulties accessing the service, and even when we managed to open the app, it refused to play any music.

Spotify has officially acknowledged the problem and is actively working to resolve it as quickly as possible. The company took to social media to clarify that the outage is not related to a security hack, dispelling any rumors circulating about a potential breach.

We are aware of the outage and working to resolve it as soon as possible. The reports of this being a security hack are false.
