'''Spotify''' ([[Help:IPA/English|/ˈspɒtɪfaɪ/]]) is a [[proprietary software|proprietary]] Swedish<ref name="spotify1"/> [[Streaming media|audio streaming]] and media services provider founded on 23 April 2006 by [[Daniel Ek]] and [[Martin Lorentzon]].<ref>{{cite web|date=14 October 2016|title=Spotify UK revenues surge to almost £190m as mobile subscriptions take off|url=http://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/oct/14/spotify-uk-revenues-surge-to-almost-190m-as-mobile-subscriptions-take-off|access-date=6 August 2021|website=The Guardian|language=en}}</ref> It is one of the largest music streaming service providers, with over 433 million monthly [[active users]], including 188 million paying subscribers, as of June 2022.<ref name="Spotify company info2">{{cite web|date=2 February 2022|title=Company Info|url=https://newsroom.spotify.com/company-info/|url-status=live|access-date=2 February 2022|website=Spotify For the Record}}</ref> Spotify is listed (through a [[Luxembourg City]]-domiciled [[holding company]], '''Spotify Technology S.A.'''<ref name="sec" />) on the [[New York Stock Exchange]] in the form of [[American depositary receipt]]s.<br />
<br />
Spotify offers [[Digital rights management|digital copyright restricted]] recorded music and [[podcast]]s, including more than 82 million songs, from record labels and media companies.<ref name="Spotify company info2" /> As a [[freemium]] service, basic features are free with advertisements and limited control, while additional features, such as offline listening and commercial-free listening, are offered via paid [[Subscription business model|subscriptions]]. Spotify is currently available in 180+ countries, as of October 2021. Users can search for music based on [[Musician|artist]], [[album]], or [[Music genre|genre]], and can create, edit, and share [[playlist|playlists.]]<br />
<br />
Spotify is available in most of Europe, as well as the Americas and [[Oceania]], with a total availability in 184 markets.<ref>{{cite web|title=About Spotify|url=https://newsroom.spotify.com/company-info/|access-date=10 January 2022|website=Spotify|language=en-US}}</ref> The service is available on most devices including [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], [[macOS]], and [[Linux]] computers, [[iOS]] and [[Android (operating system)|Android]] smartphones and tablets, [[Home automation|smart home]] devices such as the [[Amazon Echo]] and [[Google Nest]] lines of products and [[digital media player]]s like [[Roku]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Spotify Music|url=https://channelstore.roku.com/details/19977/spotify|access-date=12 November 2018|website=Roku Channel Store|publisher=Roku}}</ref><br />

Unlike physical or download sales, which pay artists a fixed price per song or album sold, Spotify pays [[royalties]] based on the number of artist streams as a proportion of total songs streamed. It distributes approximately 70% of its total revenue to rights holders (often [[record label]]s), who then pay artists based on individual agreements.<ref name=":22">{{Cite news|last=Sehgal|first=Kabir|date=26 January 2018|title=Spotify and Apple Music should become record labels so musicians can make a fair living|work=CNBC|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/26/how-spotify-apple-music-can-pay-musicians-more-commentary.html|access-date=21 November 2018}}</ref> According to [[Ben Sisario]] of ''[[The New York Times]],'' approximately 13,000 out of seven million artists on Spotify generated $50,000 or more in payments in 2020.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Ovide|first=Shira|date=22 March 2021|title=Streaming Saved Music.

=== Early international launches ===<br />
[[File:Spotify HQ.jpg|thumb|Former Spotify headquarters in Stockholm]]<br />
In February 2010, Spotify opened public registration for the free service tier in the United Kingdom.<ref name="Parsons" /> Registrations surged following the release of the mobile service, leading Spotify to halt registration for the free service in September, returning the UK to an invitation-only policy.<ref>{{cite web|title=Spotify reintroduces waiting list, nudges you to paying|url=https://www.theregister.com/2009/09/11/spotify_signups/|website=www.theregister.com|access-date=31 May 2020}}</ref><br />
<br />
Spotify launched in the United States in July 2011, and offered a six-month, ad-supported trial period, during which new users could listen to an unlimited amount of music for free. In January 2012, the free trial periods began to expire, and limited users to ten hours of streaming each month and five plays per song.<ref>{{cite web|title=Spotify early adopters will soon lose unlimited listening on free accounts|url=https://www.theverge.com/2012/1/6/2688250/spotify-free-account-restriction-10-hours-per-month|last=D'Orazio|first=Dante|date=6 January 2012|website=The Verge|access-date=31 May 2020}}</ref> Using PC streaming, you would see a similar structure to what we see today,{{clarify|date=May 2022}} with a listener being able to play songs freely, but with ads every 4-7 songs depending on listening duration. Later that same year, in March, Spotify removed all limits on the free service tier indefinitely, including mobile devices.<ref>{{cite web|title=Spotify to continue to let US users stream music for free|url=https://nypost.com/2012/03/29/spotify-to-continue-to-let-us-users-stream-music-for-free/|last=Report|first=Post Staff|date=29 March 2012|website=New York Post|access-date=31 May 2020}}</ref><br />

In April 2016, Ek and Lorentzon wrote an open letter to Swedish politicians, demanding action in three areas that they claimed hindered the company's ability to recruit top talent as Spotify grows, including access to flexible housing, better education in the programming and development fields, and stock options. Ek and Lorentzon wrote that to continue competing in a global economy, politicians needed to respond with new policies, or else thousands of Spotify jobs would be moved from Sweden to the United States.<ref>{{cite news |first=Hazel |last=Sheffield |title=Spotify's threats to leave Sweden spur startup protest in Stockholm |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/spotifys-threats-to-leave-sweden-spur-startup-protest-in-stockholm-a6986431.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220524/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/spotifys-threats-to-leave-sweden-spur-startup-protest-in-stockholm-a6986431.html |archive-date=24 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |website=[[The Independent]] |date=15 April 2016 |access-date=11 December 2017}}</ref><br />

==== Premium-exclusive albums ====<br />
The ''[[Financial Times]]'' reported in March 2017 that, as part of its efforts to renegotiate new licensing deals with music labels, Spotify and major record labels had agreed that Spotify would restrict some newly released albums to its Premium tier, with Spotify receiving a reduction in royalty fees to do so. Select albums would be available only on the Premium tier for a period of time, before general release.

==== Dispute with Apple ====<br />
{{See also|Criticism of Apple Inc.#Spotify}}<br />
In July 2015, Spotify launched an email campaign to urge its [[App Store (iOS)|App Store]] subscribers to cancel their subscriptions and start new ones through its website, bypassing the 30% transaction fee for in-app purchases required for [[iOS]] applications by technology company [[Apple Inc.]]<ref>{{cite web |first=Chris |last=Welch |title=Spotify urges iPhone customers to stop paying through Apple's App Store |url=https://www.theverge.com/2015/7/8/8913105/spotify-apple-app-store-email |website=[[The Verge]] |publisher=[[Vox Media]] |date=8 July 2015 |access-date=11 December 2017}}</ref> A later update to the Spotify app on iOS was rejected by Apple, prompting Spotify's general counsel Horacio Gutierrez to write a letter to Apple's then-general counsel Bruce Sewell, stating: "This latest episode raises serious concerns under both U.S. and EU competition law. It continues a troubling pattern of behavior by Apple to exclude and diminish the competitiveness of Spotify on iOS and as a rival to [[Apple Music]], particularly when seen against the backdrop of Apple's previous anticompetitive conduct aimed at Spotify ... we cannot stand by as Apple uses the App Store approval process as a weapon to harm competitors."<ref>{{cite web |first=Peter |last=Kafka |title=Spotify says Apple won't approve a new version of its app because it doesn't want competition for Apple Music |url=http://www.recode.net/2016/6/30/12067578/spotify-apple-app-store-rejection |website=[[Recode]] |publisher=Vox Media |date=30 June 2016 |access-date=22 January 2017}}</ref><br />
<br />
Sewell responded to the letter: "We find it troubling that you are asking for exemptions to the rules we apply to all developers and are publicly resorting to rumors and half-truths about our service." He also elaborated that "Our guidelines apply equally to all app developers, whether they are game developers, e-book sellers, video-streaming services or digital music distributors; and regardless of whether they compete against Apple. We did not alter our behavior or our rules when we introduced our own music streaming service or when Spotify became a competitor". Furthermore, he stated that "There is nothing in Apple's conduct that 'amounts to a violation of applicable antitrust laws.' Far from it. ... I would be happy to facilitate an expeditious review and approval of your app as soon as you provide us with something that is compliant with the App Store's rules".<ref>{{cite web |first=John |last=Paczkowski |title=Apple Slams Spotify For Asking For "Preferential Treatment" |url=https://www.buzzfeed.com/johnpaczkowski/apple-fires-back-at-spotify-for-asking-for-preferential-trea |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160701215735/https://www.buzzfeed.com/johnpaczkowski/apple-fires-back-at-spotify-for-asking-for-preferential-trea |website=[[BuzzFeed]] |date=1 July 2016 |archive-date=1 July 2016 |access-date=11 December 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Oscar |last=Raymundo |title=Apple slams Spotify for criticizing the App Store as anti-competitive |url=https://www.macworld.com/article/3090219/ios/spotify-lawyers-up-against-apple-for-rejecting-its-updated-ios-app.html |website=[[Macworld]] |publisher=[[International Data Group]] |date=1 July 2016 |access-date=11 December 2017}}</ref><br />

In the following months, Spotify joined several other companies in filing a letter with the [[European Union]]'s [[antitrust]] body indirectly accusing Apple and [[Google]] of "abusing their 'privileged position' at the top of the market", by referring to "some" companies as having "transformed into 'gatekeepers' rather than 'gateways'".<ref>{{cite web |first=Mikey |last=Campbell |title=Spotify, others file EU complaint over Apple and Google app store practices |url=http://appleinsider.com/articles/17/05/05/spotify-others-file-eu-complaint-over-apple-and-google-app-store-practices |website=AppleInsider |date=5 May 2017 |access-date=6 May 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Chance |last=Miller |title=Spotify again accuses Apple of abusing its size & acting as a 'gatekeeper' |url=https://9to5mac.com/2017/05/06/spotify-again-accuses-apple-of-abusing-its-size-acting-as-a-gatekeeper/ |website=9to5Mac |date=6 May 2017 |access-date=6 May 2017}}</ref> The complaint led to the European Union announcing that it would prepare an initiative by the end of 2017 for a possible law addressing unfair competition practices.<ref>{{cite web |first=Julia |last=Fioretti |title=EU to tackle complaints over tech companies' trading practices |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-eu-digital-idUSKBN18614K |work=Reuters |publisher=[[Thomson Reuters]] |date=10 May 2017 |access-date=10 May 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Ben |last=Lovejoy |title=EU planning a new law addressing 'unfair contractual clauses' following Spotify's complaint against Apple |url=https://9to5mac.com/2017/05/10/eu-apple-spotify-complaint/ |website=9to5Mac |date=10 May 2017 |access-date=10 May 2017}}</ref><br />

Spotify released the first version of its [[Apple Watch]] app in November 2018, allowing playback control of the iPhone via the watch. Users can also choose which devices to play music on via Bluetooth.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/11/spotify-officially-releases-first-version-of-its-apple-watch-app/|title=Spotify officially releases the first version of its Apple Watch app|work=Ars Technica|access-date=14 November 2018}}</ref> In a further escalation of the dispute with Apple, on 13 March 2019, Spotify filed an antitrust complaint with the European Commission over unfair app store practices. Two days later, Apple responded, stating that the claim was misleading rhetoric and that Spotify wanted benefits of a free app without being a free app. Spotify responded with a statement calling Apple a monopolist and stated that they had only filed the complaint as Apple's actions hurt competition and consumers and clearly violated the law. It also said that Apple believed Spotify users on the app store were Apple's customers and not Spotify's.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.macrumors.com/2019/03/16/spotify-calls-apple-monopolist/|title=Spotify on Apple's Response to App Store Dispute: 'Every Monopolist Will Suggest They Have Done Nothing Wrong'|last=Rossignol|first=Joe|website=www.macrumors.com|access-date=19 March 2019}}</ref><br />
<br />
Apple responded to Spotify's claims by counter-claiming that Spotify's market reach and user base would not have been possible without the Apple App Store platform. Additionally, Apple stated that they have attempted to work with Spotify to integrate the service better with Apple's products, such as [[Siri]] and Apple Watch.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/03/addressing-spotifys-claims/|title=Addressing Spotify's Claims|website=Apple Newsroom|access-date=20 November 2019}}</ref> In 2019, under [[iOS 13]], it became possible to play Spotify music using Siri commands.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bgr.com/2019/10/07/apple-vs-spotify-siri-integration-ios-13/|title=Apple just finally added Spotify integration to Siri in iOS 13|last=Meek|first=Andy|date=7 October 2019|website=BGR|access-date=8 October 2019}}</ref><br />

Spotify was one of the first companies to support [[Epic Games]] in their [[Epic Games v. Apple|lawsuit against Apple]], which was filed after Epic also tried to bypass Apple's 30% fee for [[microtransactions]] in [[Fortnite]].

==== Dispute with Kakao Entertainment Corp. ====<br />
On March 1, 2021, Spotify confirmed that its platform would no longer have access to music from artists represented by Kakao Entertainment. However, after talking it out and renewing the contracts between the two, Spotify later announced that they had reached an agreement with Kakao Entertainment, allowing their content to be available once again on the platform across the globe.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2021/digital/news/spotify-k-pop-kakao-licensing-dispute-1234927727/|title=Spotify and K-Pop Label Kakao Settle Licensing Dispute, Music Returning to Platform|date=10 March 2021}}</ref><br />

In November 2021, Spotify hid the "shuffle" button for albums following a request by singer [[Adele]], arguing that tracks in albums are supposed to be played back in the order specified by the artist in order to "tell a story".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-11-21 |title=Spotify hides shuffle button after Adele says albums should 'tell a story' |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/nov/21/spotify-hides-shuffle-button-adele-albums-should-tell-a-story |access-date=2022-04-19 |website=the Guardian |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
==== NFTs ====<br />
In May 2022, Spotify began testing a feature that would allow select artists to promote their [[Non-fungible token|NFTs]] via their profiles. Some artists included in this initial test phase were [[Steve Aoki]] and [[The Wombats]]. The testing was very limited in nature and was only available on Spotify's Android app in the US.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Exclusive: Spotify tests letting artists promote NFTs on their profiles - Music Ally |url=https://musically.com/2022/05/13/spotify-artists-promote-nfts/ |access-date=2022-05-17}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Business model ==<br />
Spotify operates under a [[freemium]] business model (basic services are free, while additional features are offered via paid subscriptions). Spotify generates revenue by selling premium streaming subscriptions to users and advertising placements to third parties. Some of the premium options users may choose from include individual, duo, family, and student.<ref>{{cite web|title=Spotify Premium|url=http://www.spotify.com/us/premium/|access-date=2022-02-14|website=Spotify|language=en-US}}</ref><br />
<br />
In December 2013, the company launched a new website, "Spotify for Artists, " explaining its business model and revenue data. Spotify gets its content from major record labels as well as [[independent artist]]s and pays [[copyright]] holders [[royalties]] for streaming music. The company pays 70% of its total revenue to rights holders. Spotify for Artists states that the company does not have a fixed per-play rate; instead, it considers factors such as the user's home country and the individual artist's royalty rate. Rights holders received an average per-play payout between $.000029 and $.0084.<ref name="Spotify business">{{cite web |title=How is Spotify contributing to the music business? |url=http://www.spotifyartists.com/spotify-explained/ |archive-url=https://wayback.archive-it.org/all/20141103193456/http://www.spotifyartists.com/spotify-explained/ |publisher=Spotify |archive-date=3 November 2014 |access-date=7 November 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />

<br />
In 2013, Spotify revealed that it paid artists an average of $0.007 per stream. ''[[Music Week]]'' editor Tim Ingham commented that the figure was not as "alarming" as it appeared, writing: "Unlike buying a CD or download, streaming is not a one-off payment. Hundreds of millions of streams of tracks are happening every day, which quickly multiplies the potential revenues on offer – and is a constant long-term source of income for artists."<ref>{{cite web |title=Spotify reveals artists earn $0.007 per stream |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-25217353 |website=BBC News |publisher=BBC |date=4 December 2013 |access-date=22 January 2017}}</ref><br />

==== Funding ====<br />
In February 2010, Spotify received a small investment from [[Founders Fund]], where board member [[Sean Parker]] was recruited to assist Spotify in "winning the labels over in the world's largest music market".<ref>{{cite web |first1=Tim |last1=Bradshaw |first2=Joseph |last2=Menn |title=Spotify-MOG battle heats up |url=https://www.ft.com/content/7a289b4e-249b-11df-8be0-00144feab49a |website=[[Financial Times]] |publisher=[[The Nikkei]] |date=1 March 2010 |access-date=22 January 2017}}</ref> In June 2011, Spotify secured $100 million of funding and planned to use this to support its US launch.

In April 2015, Spotify began another round of fundraising, with a report from ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' stating it was seeking $400 million, which would value the company at $8.4 billion.<ref>{{cite web |first1=Douglas |last1=MacMillan |first2=Telis |last2=Demos |title=Spotify Nears Deal to Raise $400 Million at $8.4 Billion Valuation |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/spotify-nears-deal-to-raise-400-million-at-8-4-billion-valuation-1428700668 |website=The Wall Street Journal |date=10 April 2015 |access-date=9 November 2016}} {{subscription required}}</ref> The financing was closed in June 2015, with Spotify raising $526 million, at a value of $8.53 billion.<ref>{{cite web |first1=Douglas |last1=MacMillan |first2=Juhana |last2=Rossi |title=Spotify Raises $526 Million Amid Battle With Apple |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/spotify-scores-investment-from-teliasonera-in-multimillion-dollar-funding-round-1433918944 |website=[[The Wall Street Journal]] |date=10 June 2015 |access-date=9 November 2016}} {{subscription required}}</ref> In January 2016, Spotify raised another $500 million through convertible bonds.<ref>{{cite web |first=Ingrid |last=Lunden |title=Spotify Is Raising Another $500M In Convertible Notes With Discounts On IPO Shares |url=https://techcrunch.com/2016/01/27/spotify-500-million/ |website=[[TechCrunch]] |publisher=AOL |date=27 January 2016 |access-date=9 November 2016}}</ref><br />

<br />
=== Downloads ===<br />
In March 2009, Spotify began offering [[music download]]s in the United Kingdom, France, and Spain. Users could purchase tracks from Spotify, which partnered with [[7digital]] to incorporate the feature. The ability to purchase and download music tracks via the app was removed on 4 January 2013.<ref name="No purchase" /><br />
<br />
=== Spotify for Artists ===<br />
In November 2015, Spotify introduced a "Fan Insights" panel in limited [[Software release life cycle|beta]] form, letting artists and managers access data on monthly listeners, geographical data, demographic information, music preferences and more.<ref>{{cite web |first=Romain |last=Dillett |title=Spotify Bets On Data To Lure Artists To Its Platform |url=https://techcrunch.com/2015/11/17/spotify-bets-on-data-to-lure-artists-to-its-platform/ |website=[[TechCrunch]] |publisher=AOL |date=17 November 2015 |access-date=18 April 2017}}</ref> In April 2017, the panel was upgraded to leave beta status, renamed as "Spotify for Artists", and opened to all artists and managers. Additional features include the ability to get "verified" status with a blue checkmark on an artist's profile, receiving artist support from Spotify, customising the profile page with photos and promoting a certain song as their "pick".<ref>{{cite web |first=Sarah |last=Perez |title=Spotify's artist dashboard exits beta, offering streaming insights, profile management & more |url=https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/18/spotifys-artist-dashboard-exits-beta-offering-streaming-insights-profile-management-more/ |website=TechCrunch |publisher=AOL |date=18 April 2017 |access-date=18 April 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |first=Dan |last=Rys |title=Spotify Upgrades Fan Insights Feature to 'Spotify for Artists': Exclusive |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/7761970/spotify-upgrades-fan-insights-spotify-for-artists-exclusive |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date=18 April 2017 |access-date=18 April 2017}}</ref><br />
<br />
In September 2018, Spotify announced "Upload Beta", allowing artists to upload directly to the platform instead of going through a [[music industry|distributor]] or [[record label]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/20/17879840/spotify-artist-direct-upload-independent-music|title=Spotify will now let artists directly upload their music to the platform|last=Deahl|first=Dani|date=20 September 2018|website=The Verge|access-date=10 April 2019}}</ref> The feature was rolled out to a small number of US-based artists by invitation only. Uploading was free and artists received 100% of the revenue from songs they uploaded; artists were able to control when their release went public. On 1 July 2019, Spotify deprecated the program and announced plans to stop accepting direct uploads by the end of that month and eventually remove all content uploaded in this manner.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.altpress.com/news/spotify-independent-artists-upload-music-streaming/|title=Spotify shuts down direct music uploading for independent artists|last=Darus|first=Alex|date=2 July 2019|website=Alternative Press|access-date=3 July 2019}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Industry initiatives ===<br />
In June 2017, ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' reported that Spotify would announce "Secret Genius", a new initiative aimed at highlighting songwriters and producers, and the effect those people have on the music industry and the artists' careers. The project, which would feature awards, "Songshops" songwriting workshops, curated playlists, and podcasts, is an effort to "shine a light on these people behind the scenes who play such a big role in some of the most important moments of our lives. When the general public hears a song, they automatically associate it with the artist who sings it, not the people behind the scenes who make it happen, so we thought the title Secret Genius was appropriate", Spotify's former Global Head of Creator Services [[Troy Carter (talent manager)|Troy Carter]] told ''Variety'' the first awards ceremony would take place in late 2017,{{update inline|date=March 2019}} and was intended to honour "the top songwriters, producers and publishers in the industry as well as up-and-coming talent." Additionally, as part of "The Ambassador Program", 13 songwriters would each host a Songshop workshop, in which their peers would collaboratively attempt to create a hit song, with the first workshop taking place in Los Angeles in June 2017.<ref>{{cite web |first=Jem |last=Aswad |title=Spotify Launches 'Secret Genius' Program to Celebrate Songwriters (EXCLUSIVE) |url=https://variety.com/2017/music/news/exclusive-spotify-launches-secret-genius-for-songwriters-1202458229/ |website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |date=8 June 2017 |access-date=9 June 2017}}</ref><br />
<br />
In October 2017, Spotify launched "Rise", a program aimed at promoting emerging artists.<ref>{{cite web |first=Sarah |last=Perez |title=Spotify launches RISE, a new emerging artist program |url=https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/20/spotify-launches-a-rise-a-new-emerging-artist-program/ |website=[[TechCrunch]] |publisher=[[Oath Inc.]] |date=20 October 2017 |access-date=7 December 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Swapna |last=Krishna |title=Spotify's RISE program will try to find future music superstars |url=https://www.engadget.com/2017/10/20/spotify-rise-emerging-artists/ |website=[[Engadget]] |publisher=Oath Inc. |date=20 October 2017 |access-date=7 December 2017}}</ref> In February 2020, Spotify announced it would be featuring new songwriter pages and 'written by' playlists. This was aimed at giving fans a behind the scenes look at the process of some of their favorite songwriters. Initial pages added included Justin Trantor, [[Meghan Trainor]], and [[Missy Elliott]]. Spotify thereafter announced it was planning to add more of these pages and playlists to highlight songwriters.<ref>{{cite web|title=Spotify rolls out Written By playlists as it expands support for songwriters and publishers|url=https://www.musicweek.com/digital/read/spotify-rolls-out-written-by-playlists-as-it-expands-support-for-songwriters-and-publishers/080354|access-date=21 July 2020|website=www.musicweek.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine|date=9 July 2020|title=Spotify Adds Hundreds More Songwriter Pages and 'Written By' Playlists|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/9415812/spotify-adds-songwriter-pages-written-by-playlists|access-date=21 July 2020|magazine=Billboard}}</ref><br />

In January 2021, Spotify made a selection of audiobooks available on the platform as a test of developing a greater breadth of content for users.<ref>{{cite web|date=25 January 2021|title=Spotify Tests Audiobooks With Classics Collection (Exclusive)|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/spotify-tests-audiobooks-with-frankenstein-jane-eyre-and-other-literary-classics-exclusive|access-date=25 January 2021|website=The Hollywood Reporter|language=en}}</ref> The addition of audiobooks to the service would create similar offerings to that of Amazon's [[Audible (service)|Audible]]. In 2020, Spotify partnered with [[Wizarding World]] to release a series of recorded readings of ''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone,'' by various stars of the franchise.<ref>{{cite web|last=Carman|first=Ashley|date=5 May 2020|title=Daniel Radcliffe and others are reading chapters of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on video|url=https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/5/21247804/harry-potter-daniel-radcliffe-reading-philosophers-stone-spotify-video|access-date=25 January 2021|website=The Verge|language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Stations by Spotify ===<br />
On 31 January 2018, Spotify started testing a new [[Pandora Radio|Pandora]]-styled standalone app called Stations by Spotify for Australian Android users.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.alphr.com/spotify/1008362/spotify-stations-app-playlists|title=Spotify's new Stations app is all about playlists without any of the faff|work=Alphr|access-date=25 May 2018}}</ref> It featured 62 music channels, each devoted to a particular genre. Spotify itself has two channels named after its playlists that link directly to the users' profile: "Release Radar" and "Discover Weekly". The aim was to help users to listen to the music they want without [[information overload]] or spending time building their own playlists. At launch, the skipping feature was not featured to "reinforce the feel of radio", but it was quietly added later and with no limits. Songs can be "loved" but cannot be "hated". If a song is "loved", a custom radio channel will be created based on it, and when there are at least 15 of these songs, a "My Favourites" channel is unlocked.<br />
<br />
The standalone app was made available to all iOS and Android users in the United States since 4 June 2019.<ref>[https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/4/18651865/spotify-stations-ios-release-date-news-features-australia-playlists Spotify Stations is now available in the US] – ''[[The Verge]]'' (published 4 June 2019)</ref><br />
<br />
Spotify announced the app would be shut down on 16 May 2022. The company said users would be able to login into the main Spotify app with their Stations account and transfer their stations into Spotify.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Lawler |first1=Richard |title=Spotify will shut down its radio-like listening app Stations on May 16th |url=https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/6/23060239/spotify-stations-experiment-may-16th-radio-pandora |website=The Verge |date=6 May 2022 |access-date=7 May 2022}}</ref><br />

=== Features ===<br />
In Spotify's apps, music can be browsed or searched for via various parameters, such as artist, album, genre, [[playlist]], or record label. Users can create, edit and share playlists, share tracks on [[social media]], and make playlists with other users. Spotify provides access to over 70 million songs, 2.2 million podcasts and 4 billion playlists.<ref>{{cite web |title=Spotify vs. Apple Music: Which service is the streaming king? |url=http://www.digitaltrends.com/music/apple-music-vs-spotify/ |website=[[Digital Trends]] |date=28 October 2016 |access-date=14 November 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Jon |last=Russell |title=Spotify reaches 50 million paying users |url=https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/02/spotify-50-million/ |website=[[TechCrunch]] |publisher=AOL |date=2 March 2017 |access-date=6 June 2017}}</ref><ref name="Spotify company info2" /><br />

In November 2011, Spotify introduced a Spotify Apps service that made it possible for third-party developers to design applications that could be hosted within the Spotify computer software.

In December 2015, Spotify debuted [[Spotify Wrapped]], a program that creates playlists based on each user's most listened-to songs from the year. Users then can view and save this playlist at the end of the year.

In May 2017, Spotify introduced Spotify Codes for its mobile apps, a way for users to share specific artists, tracks, playlists or albums with other people.

=== Listening limitations ===<br />
Spotify has experimented with different limitations to users' listening on the Free service tier.<br />
<br />
In April 2011, Spotify announced via a blog post that they would drastically cut the amount of music that free members could access, effective 1 May 2011. The post stated that all free members would be limited to ten hours of music streaming per month, and in addition, individual tracks were limited to five plays. New users were exempt from these changes for six months.<ref>{{cite web |first=Mike |last=Butcher |title=Spotify takes the axe to its free service – can it now claim to slash music piracy? |url=https://techcrunch.com/2011/04/14/spotify-takes-the-axe-to-its-free-service-can-it-now-claim-to-slash-music-piracy/ |website=[[TechCrunch]] |publisher=AOL |date=14 April 2011 |access-date=2 June 2017}}</ref> In March 2013, the five-play individual track limit was removed for users in the United Kingdom, and media reports stated that users in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand never had the limit in the first place.<ref>{{cite web |first=Steve |last=O'Hear |title=Spotify Ditches Its 5 Play Limit For Spotify Free Users In The UK |url=https://techcrunch.com/2013/03/19/spotify-freetards/ |website=TechCrunch |publisher=AOL |date=19 March 2013 |access-date=2 June 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Shane |last=Richmond |title=Spotify removes five-play song cap |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/9940432/Spotify-removes-five-play-song-cap.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/9940432/Spotify-removes-five-play-song-cap.html |archive-date=10 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |website=[[The Daily Telegraph|The Telegraph]] |date=19 March 2013 |access-date=2 June 2017}}{{cbignore}}</ref><br />
<br />
In December 2013, CEO Daniel Ek announced that Android and iOS smartphone users with the free service tier could listen to music in Shuffle mode, a feature in which users can stream music by specific artists and playlists without being able to pick which songs to hear. Mobile listening previously was not allowed in Spotify Free accounts. Ek stated that "We're giving people the best free music experience in the history of the smartphone."<ref>{{cite news |first=Ellis |last=Hamburger |title=Spotify announces free streaming on Android and iPhone, but only in Shuffle mode |url=https://www.theverge.com/2013/12/11/5199692/spotify-announces-free-streaming-on-android-and-iphone-but-only-in |website=[[The Verge]] |publisher=[[Vox Media]] |date=11 December 2013 |access-date=13 November 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Jordan |last=Crook |title=Spotify Goes Freemium On Tablets, Launches Free Shuffle Product On Smartphones |url=https://techcrunch.com/2013/12/11/spotify-launches-spotify-free-for-tablets/ |website=[[TechCrunch]] |publisher=AOL |date= 11 December 2013 |access-date=2 June 2017}}</ref> This shuffle feature is not available on Android and iOS tablets, or computers.<br />
<br />
In January 2014, Spotify removed all time limits for Free users on all platforms, including on computers, which previously had a 10-hour monthly listening limit after a 6-month grace period.<ref>{{cite news |first=Sophie |last=Murray-Morris |title=Spotify removes time restrictions on free desktop player |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/spotify-removes-time-restrictions-for-desktop-listening-9062361.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220524/https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/spotify-removes-time-restrictions-for-desktop-listening-9062361.html |archive-date=24 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |website=[[The Independent]] |date=15 January 2014 |access-date=2 June 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Josh |last=Constine |title=Spotify Drops Free Web Listening Time Limit Everywhere – A Big Scalability Milestone |url=https://techcrunch.com/2014/01/15/spotify-limits/ |website=[[TechCrunch]] |publisher=AOL |date=15 January 2014 |access-date=2 June 2017}}</ref><br />
<br />
In April 2018, Spotify began to allow Free users to listen on-demand to whatever songs they want for an unlimited number of times, as long as the song is on one of the user's 15 personalized discovery playlists.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2018/04/24/spotify-beefs-up-its-free-tier-as-apple-music-gains-traction/|title=Spotify beefs up its free tier – TechCrunch|website=techcrunch.com|access-date=24 April 2018}}</ref><br />
<br />
Before April 2020, all service users were limited to 10,000 songs in their library, after which they would receive an "Epic collection, friend" notification and would not be able to save more music to their library. Adding playlists at this point also arbitrarily removed older playlists from the users' library. Spotify later removed this limit.<br />

Spotify is [[Proprietary software|proprietary]] and uses [[digital rights management]] (DRM) controls.<ref name="DRM" /> Spotify's [[terms and conditions]] do not permit users to [[Reverse engineering|reverse-engineer]] the application.<br />
<br />
Spotify allows users to add local audio files for music not in its catalog into the user's library through Spotify's desktop application, and then allows users to synchronize those music files to Spotify's mobile apps or other computers over the same [[Wi-Fi]] network as the primary computer by creating a Spotify playlist, and adding those local audio files to the playlist. Audio files must either be in the .mp3, .mp4 (.mp4 files that have video streams are not supported), or .m4p media formats. This feature is available only for Premium subscribers.<br />
<br />
Spotify has a median playback latency of 265 ms (including local [[cache (computing)|cache]]).<ref>{{cite web |first1=Gunnar |last1=Kreitz |first2=Fredrik |last2=Niemelä |title=Spotify – Large Scale, Low Latency, P2P Music-on-Demand Streaming |url=http://www.csc.kth.se/~gkreitz/spotify-p2p10/spotify-p2p10.pdf |publisher=[[Royal Institute of Technology]] |access-date=9 November 2016}}</ref><br />
<br />
In April 2014, Spotify moved away from the [[peer-to-peer]] (P2P) system they had used to distribute music to users. Previously, a desktop user would listen to music from one of three sources: a cached file on the computer, one of Spotify's servers, or from other subscribers through the P2P system. P2P, a well-established Internet distribution system, served as an alternative that reduced Spotify's server resources and costs. However, Spotify ended the P2P setup in 2014, with Spotify's Alison Bonny telling [[TorrentFreak]]: "We're gradually phasing out the use of our desktop P2P technology which has helped our users enjoy their music both speedily and seamlessly. We're now at a stage where we can power music delivery through our growing number of servers and ensure our users continue to receive a best-in-class service."<ref>{{cite web |author=Ernesto |title=Spotify Starts Shutting Down Its Massive P2P Network |url=https://torrentfreak.com/spotify-starts-shutting-down-its-massive-p2p-network-140416/ |publisher=[[TorrentFreak]] |date=16 April 2014 |access-date=21 November 2016}}</ref><br />
<br />
Originally Spotify had their own servers but in 2016 most of their infrastructure was migrated to [[Google Cloud Platform|Google cloud]]<ref>{{Cite web |last=Toor |first=Amar |date=2016-02-24 |title=Spotify is moving its data to Google's servers |url=https://www.theverge.com/2016/2/24/11104446/spotify-google-cloud-platform |access-date=2022-07-06 |website=The Verge |language=en}}</ref><br />

{{Main|Criticism of Spotify}}<br />
Spotify has attracted significant criticism since its 2006 launch.<ref name="Launch">{{cite web|title=We've only just begun!|url=https://news.spotify.com/us/2008/10/07/weve-only-just-begun/|date=7 October 2008|publisher=Spotify|access-date=7 November 2016}}</ref> The primary point of criticism centres around what artists, music creators, and the media have described as "unsustainable" compensation.<ref>{{cite web |first=Lizzie |last=Plaugic |title=Spotify's Year in Music shows just how little we pay artists for their music |url=https://www.theverge.com/2015/12/7/9861372/spotify-year-in-review-artist-payment-royalties |website=[[The Verge]] |publisher=[[Vox Media]] |date=7 December 2015 |access-date=22 January 2017}}</ref> Unlike physical sales or legal downloads (both of which were the main medium of listening to music at the time), which pay artists a fixed amount per song or album sold, Spotify pays royalties based on their "market share": the number of streams for their songs as a proportion of total songs streamed on the service.

In May 2018, Spotify attracted criticism for its "Hate Content & Hateful Conduct policy" that removed the music of [[R. Kelly]] and [[XXXTentacion]] from its editorial and algorithmic playlists because "When we look at promotion, we look at issues around hateful conduct, where you have an artist or another creator who has done something off-platform that is so particularly out of line with our values, egregious, in a way that it becomes something that we don't want to associate ourselves with." R. Kelly has faced accusations of sexual abuse, while XXXTentacion was on trial for domestic abuse in a case that did not reach a judgement before [[killing of XXXTentacion|his death]] that June.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Strauss |first1=Matthew |title=Spotify Removes R.

In 2016, Spotify was criticized for allegedly making certain artists' music harder to find than others as these artists would release their music to the rival streaming service [[Apple Music]] before releasing it to Spotify.<ref>{{cite web|date=26 August 2016|title=Spotify Is Burying Musicians for Their Apple Deals|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-26/spotify-said-to-retaliate-against-artists-with-apple-exclusives|access-date=22 July 2020|website=Bloomberg.com}}</ref><br />

Daniel Ek, co-founder and CEO of Spotify, discussed "what he called an artist-friendly streaming solution." He explained, "An extension of the internet radio craze of the early 2000s, Spotify would license content from record labels, and then support artists as people listened to their music."<ref name="prospect.org" /> However, Dayen noted that such services draw revenue from advertisements, the promise of audience growth to investors, and data collection.{{Citation needed|date=January 2022}}<br />

In January 2022, 270 scientists, physicians, professors, doctors, healthcare workers, veterinarians, a dentist, psychologists, physicians' assistants, medical students, an engineer and a podcast host wrote an open letter to Spotify expressing concern over "false and societally harmful assertions" on ''The Joe Rogan Experience'' and asked Spotify to "establish a clear and public policy to moderate misinformation on its platform". The 270 signatories objected to Rogan broadcasting [[COVID-19 misinformation]], citing "a highly controversial" episode featuring guest [[Robert W. Malone|Robert Malone]] (#1757). The episode has been criticized for "promoting baseless conspiracy theories", including "an unfounded theory that societal leaders have 'hypnotized' the public." The signatories assert: "Dr. Malone is one of two recent JRE guests who has compared pandemic policies to [[the Holocaust]]. These actions are not only objectionable and offensive, but also medically and culturally dangerous." The signatories also note that Malone was [[Twitter suspensions|suspended from Twitter]] for spreading misinformation about COVID-19.<ref>{{cite web|last=Tapp|first=Tom|date=13 January 2022|title=Hundreds Of Doctors Sign Open Letter Asking Spotify To Address "Mass Misinformation Events," Take Aim At Joe Rogan's Show|url=https://deadline.com/2022/01/spotify-joe-rogan-doctors-open-letter-1234909702/|url-status=live|access-date=13 January 2022|website=[[Deadline Hollywood|Deadline]]|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine|last=Dickson|first=E.

'''''Naruto'''''{{efn|[[Japanese language|Japanese]]: {{ruby-ja|NARUTO|ナルト}}}} is a Japanese [[manga]] series written and illustrated by [[Masashi Kishimoto]]. It tells the story of [[Naruto Uzumaki]], a young [[ninja]] who seeks recognition from his peers and dreams of becoming the Hokage, the leader of his village. The story is told in two parts – the first set in Naruto's pre-teen years, and the second in his teens. The series is based on two [[One-shot (comics)|one-shot manga]] by Kishimoto: ''Karakuri'' (1995), which earned Kishimoto an honorable mention in [[Shueisha]]'s monthly ''Hop Step Award'' the following year, and ''Naruto'' (1997).<br />
<br />
''Naruto'' was serialized in Shueisha's magazine, ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]'' from 1999 to 2014, and released in ''[[tankōbon]]'' (book) form in 72 volumes. The manga was adapted into an [[anime]] television series produced by [[Pierrot (company)|Pierrot]] and [[Aniplex]], which broadcast 220 episodes in Japan from 2002 to 2007; the English [[Dubbing (filmmaking)|dub]] of the series aired on [[Cartoon Network]] and [[YTV (Canadian TV channel)|YTV]] from 2005 to 2009. ''[[#Naruto: Shippuden|Naruto: Shippuden]]'', a sequel to the original series, premiered in Japan in 2007, and ended in 2017, after 500 episodes. The English dub was broadcast on [[Disney XD]] from 2009 to 2011, airing the first 98 episodes, and then switched over to [[Adult Swim]]'s [[Toonami]] programming block in January 2014, starting over from the first episode. The English dub is still airing weekly on Adult Swim to this day. Viz Media began streaming the anime series on their streaming service [[Neon Alley]] in December 2012 on 99 episodes, and ended in March 2016, after 338 episodes. Besides the anime series, Pierrot has developed eleven movies and twelve [[original video animation]]s (OVAs). Other ''Naruto''-related merchandise includes [[light novel]]s, video games, and trading cards developed by several companies.</onlyinclude><br />
<br />
[[Viz Media]] licensed the manga and anime for North American production and serialized ''Naruto'' in their digital ''[[Weekly Shonen Jump (American magazine)|Weekly Shonen Jump]]'' magazine. The anime series began airing in the United States and Canada in 2005, and in the United Kingdom and Australia in 2006 and 2007, respectively. The films and most OVAs from the series were also released by Viz, with the first film premiering in movie theaters. The story of ''Naruto'' continues with Naruto's son, [[Boruto Uzumaki]], in ''[[Boruto: Naruto Next Generations]]'': Boruto wishes to create his own ninja way instead of following his father's.<br />
<br />
''Naruto'' is one of the [[List of best-selling manga|best-selling manga series]] in history having {{formatnum:250}} million copies in circulation worldwide in 47 countries and regions, with 153 million copies in Japan alone and remaining 97 million copies elsewhere. It has become one of Viz Media's best-selling manga series; their English translations of the volumes have appeared on ''[[USA Today]]'' and ''[[The New York Times]]'' bestseller list several times, and the seventh volume won a [[Quill Award]] in 2006. Reviewers praised the manga's character development, strong storylines, and well-executed fight scenes, though some felt the fight scenes slowed the story down. Critics noted that the manga, which has a [[coming-of-age]] theme, makes use of cultural references from [[Japanese mythology]] and [[Confucianism]].<br />

== Plot ==<br />
=== Part I ===<br />
{{See also|List of Naruto chapters (Part I)|l1=List of ''Naruto'' chapters (Part I)}}<br />
A powerful fox known as the [[List of Naruto characters#Kurama|Nine-Tails]] attacks Konoha, the hidden leaf village in the Land of Fire, one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries in the Ninja World. In response, the leader of Konoha and the Fourth Hokage, [[Minato Namikaze]] seals the fox inside the body of his newborn son, [[Naruto Uzumaki]], making Naruto a host of the beast;{{efn-lr|The host is known as a ''jinchuriki'' in the story. The secret that the fourth Hokage who sealed the beast in Naruto is his father is revealed in Part II. It is a human being in the Ninja World who has a Tailed Beast inside of them. A Tailed Beast is a giant creature that contains a large amount of chakra (energy) inside of their bodies.}} this costs Naruto's father his life, and the [[Hiruzen Sarutobi|Third Hokage]] returns from retirement to become the leader of Konoha again. Naruto is often scorned by Konoha's villagers for being the host of the Nine-Tails. Due to a decree by the Third Hokage forbidding any mention of these events, Naruto learns nothing about the Nine-Tails until 12 years later, when Mizuki, a renegade ninja, reveals the truth to Naruto. Naruto then defeats Mizuki in combat, earning the respect of his teacher, [[Iruka Umino]].{{efn-lr|In ''Naruto'', a ''jutsu'' is a skill or a technique involving supernatural abilities.}}<br />
<br />
Shortly afterward, Naruto becomes a ninja and joins with [[Sasuke Uchiha]], against whom he often competes, and [[Sakura Haruno]], on whom he has a crush, to form [[List of Naruto characters#Team 7|Team 7]], under an experienced ''[[sensei]]'', the elite ninja [[Kakashi Hatake]]. Like all the ninja teams from every village, Team 7 completes missions requested by the villagers, ranging from doing chores and being bodyguards to performing assassinations.<br />
<br />
After several missions, including a major one in the Land of Waves, Kakashi allows Team 7 to take a ninja exam, enabling them to advance to a higher rank and take on more difficult missions, known as Chunin Exams. During the exams, [[Orochimaru (Naruto)|Orochimaru]], a wanted criminal, invades Konoha and kills the Third Hokage for revenge. [[Jiraiya (Naruto)|Jiraiya]], one of the three legendary ninjas, declines the title of Fifth Hokage and searches with Naruto for [[Tsunade (Naruto)|Tsunade]] whom he chooses to become Fifth Hokage instead.<br />
<br />
During the search, it is revealed that Orochimaru wishes to train Sasuke because of his powerful genetic heritage, the Sharingan. {{efn-lr|{{anchor|Sharingan}}The {{nihongo|Sharingan|写輪眼||lit. "Copy Wheel Eye", English manga: "Mirror Wheel Eye"}} is a special ability of the eye that the Uchiha clan holds. The Sharingan can copy any type of ''jutsu'', can see rapid movements, and can cast an illusion on its victim, and Sasuke being the last member of his clan as he holds the Sharingan.}} After Sasuke attempts and fails to kill his older brother [[Itachi Uchiha|Itachi]],{{efn-lr|He destroyed their clan and joined a criminal organization called [[Akatsuki Members|Akatsuki]].}} who had showed up in Konoha to kidnap Naruto, he joins Orochimaru, hoping to gain from him the strength needed to kill Itachi. The story takes a turn when Sasuke leaves the village: Tsunade sends a group of ninja, including Naruto, to retrieve Sasuke, but Naruto is unable to persuade or force him to come back. Naruto and Sakura do not give up on Sasuke; Naruto leaves Konoha to receive training from Jiraiya to prepare himself for the next time he encounters Sasuke, while Sakura becomes Tsunade's apprentice.<br />
<br />
=== Part II ===<br />
{{See also|List of Naruto chapters (Part II, volumes 28–48)|l1=List of ''Naruto'' chapters (Part II, volumes 28–48)|List of Naruto chapters (Part II, volumes 49–72)|l2=List of ''Naruto'' chapters (Part II, volumes 49–72)}}<br />
Two and a half years later, Naruto returns from his training with Jiraiya. The [[Akatsuki (Naruto)|Akatsuki]] starts kidnapping the hosts of the powerful Tailed Beasts. Team 7 and other Leaf ninja fight against them and search for their teammate Sasuke. The Akatsuki succeeds in capturing and extracting seven of the Tailed Beasts, killing all the hosts except [[Gaara]], who is now the Kazekage. Meanwhile, Sasuke betrays Orochimaru and faces Itachi to take revenge. After Itachi dies in battle, Sasuke learns from the Akatsuki founder [[Obito Uchiha|Tobi]] that Itachi had been ordered by Konoha's superiors to destroy his clan to prevent a coup; he accepted, on the condition that Sasuke would be spared. Devastated by this revelation, Sasuke joins the Akatsuki to destroy Konoha in revenge. As Konoha ninjas defeat several Akatsuki members, the Akatsuki figurehead leader, [[Nagato (Naruto)|Nagato]], kills Jiraiya and devastates Konoha, but Naruto defeats and redeems him, earning the village's respect and admiration.<br />
<br />
With Nagato's death, Tobi, disguised as [[Madara Uchiha]] (one of Konoha's founding fathers), announces that he wants to capture all nine Tailed Beasts to cast an illusion powerful enough to control all humanity and achieve [[world peace]]. The leaders of the five ninja villages refuse to help him and instead join forces to confront his faction and allies. That decision results in a Fourth Shinobi World War between the combined armies of the Five Great Countries (known as the Allied [[Ninja|Shinobi]] Forces) and Akatsuki's forces of [[Revenant|zombie-like]] ninjas. The Five Kage try to keep Naruto, unaware of the war, in a secret island turtle near Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village), but Naruto finds out and escapes from the island with [[Killer Bee (Naruto)|Killer Bee]], the host of the Eight-Tails. At that time, Naruto—along with the help of Killer Bee—gains control of his Tailed Beast and the two of them head for the battlefield.<br />
<br />
During the conflict, it is revealed that Tobi is Obito Uchiha and not Madara as he claimed. Obito is a former teammate of Kakashi's who was thought to be dead. The real Madara saved Obito's life, and they have since collaborated. As Sasuke learns the history of Konoha, including the circumstances that led to his clan's downfall, he decides to protect the village and rejoins Naruto and Sakura to thwart Madara and Obito's plans. However, Madara's body ends up possessed by [[List of Naruto characters#Kaguya Ōtsutsuki|Kaguya Otsutsuki]], an ancient princess who intends to subdue all humanity. A reformed Obito sacrifices himself to help Team 7 stop her. Once Kaguya is sealed, Madara dies as well. Sasuke takes advantage of the situation and takes control of all the Tailed Beasts, as he reveals his goal of ending the current village system. Naruto confronts Sasuke to dissuade him from his plan, and after they almost kill each other in a final battle, Sasuke admits defeat and reforms. After the war, Kakashi becomes the Sixth Hokage and pardons Sasuke for his crimes. Years later, Kakashi steps down while Naruto marries [[Hinata Hyuga]] and becomes the Seventh Hokage, raising the [[Boruto: Naruto Next Generations|next generation]].<br />

Kishimoto was unsatisfied with his subsequent drafts for a follow up, and decided to work on another project.<ref name="vol16">{{cite book|title=Naruto, Volume 16|last=Kishimoto|first=Masashi|publisher=[[Viz Media]]|year=2007|isbn=978-1-4215-1090-3|page=150|author-link=Masashi Kishimoto|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/narutokish16kish}}</ref> The new project was originally going to feature Naruto as a chef, but this version never made it to print. Kishimoto originally wanted to make Naruto a child who could transform into a fox, so he created a one-shot of ''Naruto'' for the summer 1997 issue of ''Akamaru Jump'' based on the idea.<ref name="kizuna">{{cite book|title=NARUTO-ナルト-名言集 絆-KIZUNA- 天ノ巻|publisher=[[Shueisha]]|year=2013|isbn=978-4-08-720681-4|pages=188–195|author=Kishimoto, Masashi|author-link=Masashi Kishimoto|language=ja|trans-title=Naruto Kizuna: The Words That Bind—Scroll of Heaven}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-11-05/sj-runs-yu-gi-oh's-end-slam-dunk-debut-naruto-origin|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161225210532/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-11-05/sj-runs-yu-gi-oh%27s-end-slam-dunk-debut-naruto-origin|archive-date=December 25, 2016|work=[[Anime News Network]]|title=SJ Runs Yu-Gi-Oh's End, Slam Dunk's Debut, Naruto's Origin|date=May 11, 2007|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all }}</ref> Despite the positive feedback it received in a readers' poll, Kishimoto was unhappy with the art and the story, so he rewrote it as a story about ninjas.<ref name="Crossroads 226" /><br />

The first eight chapters of ''Naruto'' were planned before it appeared in ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]'', and these chapters originally devoted many panels of intricate art to illustrating the Konoha village. By the time ''Naruto'' debuted, the background art was sparse, instead emphasizing the characters.<ref name="Crossroads 226">{{cite book|title=Manga's Cultural Crossroads|last=Gan|first=Sheuo Hui|date=2013|publisher=[[Taylor and Francis]]|isbn=978-1-134-10283-9|location=Hoboken|page=226|chapter=Auteur and Anime as Seen in the Naruto TV Series|editor1-last=Berndt|editor1-first=Jacqueline|editor2-last=Kümmerling-Meibauer|editor2-first=Bettina}}</ref> Though Kishimoto had concerns that [[chakra]] (the energy source used by the ninjas in ''Naruto'') made the series too Japanese, he still believed it is an enjoyable read.<ref name="Collector's Edition 2005 p 68">{{cite magazine|magazine=Shonen Jump Special Collector Edition (Free Collector's Edition)|title= Naruto: Page 68|year=2005|issn=1545-7818|publisher=[[Viz Media]]|page=68}}</ref> Kishimoto is a fan of [[Godzilla]], and the tailed beasts mythology was introduced because Kishimoto wanted an excuse to draw monsters.<ref name="nippon.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.nippon.com/en/views/b00114/|title=Farewell, Naruto: The Curtain Closes on the World's Best-Loved Ninja|date=December 26, 2014|publisher=Nippon Communications Foundation|archive-url=https://archive.today/20150113014354/http://www.nippon.com/en/views/b00114/|archive-date=January 13, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> He has said that the central theme in [[List of Naruto chapters (Part I)|Part I]] of ''Naruto'' is how people accept each other, citing Naruto's development across the series as an example.<ref name="Second Official Character Data Book">{{cite book|title=NARUTO―ナルト―[秘伝・闘の書]|last=Kishimoto|first=Masashi|publisher=[[Shueisha]]|year=2005|isbn=978-4-08-873734-8|pages=310–311|language=ja|trans-title=Naruto: The Second Official Character Data Book}}</ref><br />
<br />
For Part II of the manga, Kishimoto tried to keep the panel layouts and the plot easy for the reader to follow, and avoid "overdo[ing] the typical manga-style".<ref name="Shonen Jump November 2009">{{cite magazine|date=November 2009|title=Naruto: Volume 7|magazine=[[Shonen Jump (magazine)|Shonen Jump]]|publisher=[[Viz Media]]|volume=7|issue=11 #83|pages=16–17|issn=1545-7818}}</ref> He considers that his drawing style has changed from "the classic manga look to something a bit more realistic."<ref name="Shonen Jump November 2009" /> Because of wishing to end the arc involving Sasuke Uchiha's search for his brother, Itachi, in a single volume, Kishimoto decided that volume 43 should include more chapters than regular volumes. As a result, Kishimoto apologized to readers for this since volume 43 was more expensive than regular volumes.<ref>{{cite book|last=Kishimoto|first=Masashi|title=Naruto, Volume 43|year=2008|publisher=[[Viz Media]]|page=1|isbn=978-1-4215-2929-5|author-link=Masashi Kishimoto}}</ref><br />

=== Characters ===<br />
{{Main|List of Naruto characters|l1=List of ''Naruto'' characters}}<br />
When he created ''Naruto'', Kishimoto looked to other ''shōnen'' manga as influences for his work and tried to make his characters unique, while basing the story on Japanese culture.<ref name="ArtBook138">{{cite book|author=Kishimoto, Masashi|author-link=Masashi Kishimoto|title=Uzumaki: the Art of Naruto|year=2007|publisher=[[Viz Media]]|page=138|isbn=978-1-4215-1407-9}}</ref> The separation of the characters into different teams was intended to give each group a particular flavor.

<br />
=== Setting ===<br />
Kishimoto made use of the [[Chinese astrology|Chinese zodiac]] tradition, which had a long-standing presence in Japan; the zodiac hand signs originate from this.<ref name="Collector's Edition 2005 p 68" /> When Kishimoto was creating the primary setting of the ''Naruto'' manga, he concentrated initially on the designs for the village of Konoha. The idea of the setting came to him "pretty spontaneously without much thought", but admits that the scenery became based on his home in the Japanese prefecture of [[Okayama Prefecture|Okayama]]. Since the storyline does not specify when it is set, he was able to include modern elements in the series such as convenience stores.<ref name="Uzumaki: the Art of Naruto 2007" /> He considered including automobiles, planes and simple computers, but excluded projectile weapons and vehicles from the plot.<ref name="Uzumaki: the Art of Naruto 2007">{{cite book|author=Kishimoto, Masashi|author-link=Masashi Kishimoto|title=Uzumaki: the Art of Naruto|year=2007|publisher=[[Viz Media]]|page=145|isbn=978-1-4215-1407-9}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=Shonen Jump|title= Naruto: Volume 3|volume= 3|issue= 9|date=September 2003|publisher=[[Viz Media]]|issn=1545-7818|page=8}}</ref><br />

=== Conclusion ===<br />
Masashi Kishimoto's home was close to [[Hiroshima]] where his grandfather lived. He would often tell his grandson stories of war and how it was related to grudges. In retrospect, Kishimoto commented he could not criticize anyone as a result of the war based on it was built. Upon further researching, Kishimoto decided to create world war story arc for the manga's finale. However, unlike the stories he heard from his grandfather, Kishimoto wanted to give the war covered in ''Naruto'' a more hopeful feeling.<ref name="war">{{cite web|url=https://www.viz.com/blog/posts/interview-with-masashi-kishimoto-pt-2-204|title=Interview with Masashi Kishimoto Pt. 2 - Feb 13, 2012|website=Viz Media|accessdate=April 16, 2022}}</ref> Nagato's arc paved the way for the ending of ''Naruto'' to occur. Nagato stood out as a villain due to suffering war and killing Naruto's mentor Jiraiya. Understanding the fears of war, Naruto's characterization was made more complex for him to experience the Fourth Great Shinobi War. These events end with Naruto forgiving Sasuke as he had forgiven Nagato in the final battle.<ref name="koba" /> <br />
<br />
Due to unknown issues, the series' finale was delayed. Once volume 66 was released, Kishimoto commented he reached a moment from the narrative involving something he always wanted to draw.<ref>{{cite book|title=Naruto|volume=66|page=Afterword|publisher=Viz Media|year=2014|isbn=978-1-4215-6948-2}}</ref> When serialization began, Kishimoto decided the ending would feature a fight between two characters: Naruto and Sasuke. However, the writer felt the two were not equals as the former was not a victim of war like the latter whose family was killed to stop a possible civil war.<ref>{{cite news<br />

Gō Itō, a professor in the manga department of [[Tokyo Polytechnic University]], compared the series' development to [[Dragon Ball (manga)|the manga of ''Dragon Ball'']], saying that both manga present good illustrations of three-dimensional body movements that capture the characters' martial arts very well.

Amy Plumb argues that Kishimoto's use of references to [[Japanese mythology]] in ''Naruto'' is intended to add further layers to the story. Kishimoto expects his readers to decode the references, which allows him to avoid direct explanations. One example is Itachi, who has three ninja techniques named after Shinto deities: [[Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto|Tsukiyomi]], [[Amaterasu]], and [[Susanoo-no-Mikoto|Susano-o]]. Plumb also cites Sasuke's clan's heraldic symbol, a fan known as an ''uchiwa''. These fans are used in Japanese myths to exorcise evil, by blowing it away; Sasuke discovers late in the series that he has the ability to "blow away" the influence of the Nine-Tailed Fox on Naruto. Foxes ([[Kitsune|''kitsune tsuki'']]) are tricksters in Japanese mythology, and in some stories, they take over human bodies; Plumb comments on the obvious similarities to the Nine-Tail sealed in Naruto, and the pranks Naruto plays.<ref name="Plumb">{{cite journal|date=2010|title=Japanese Religion, Mythology, and the Supernatural in Anime and Manga|journal=The International Journal of the Humanities|volume=8|issue=5|issn=1447-9508|last=Plumb|first=Amy|pages=237–246|doi=10.18848/1447-9508/CGP/v08i05/42930}}</ref><br />

Christopher A.

''Naruto'' has been described by several critics as a [[coming-of-age story]].<ref name="Lawrence C.

''Shōnen Jump'' began to carry comedies such as ''[[Gin Tama|Gintama]]'' and ''[[Reborn!]]'' from 2003 onwards, and in Tomoyuki's view this is part of the reason for the change in emphasis: ''Naruto'' "was not supposed to provide laughter anymore".<ref>{{cite book|title=Manga's Cultural Crossroads|last=Tomoyuki|first=Omote|date=2013|publisher=[[Taylor and Francis]]|isbn=978-1-134-10283-9|location=Hoboken|pages=167–169|chapter=Naruto as a Typical Weekly Magazine Manga|editor1-last=Berndt|editor1-first=Jacqueline|editor2-last=Kümmerling-Meibauer|editor2-first=Bettina}}</ref><br />

Fujimoto argues that the story has overly traditional gender roles, noting "[...] its representations suggest that men are men and women are women and that they differ naturally regarding aptitude and vocation". For example, the girls initially outperform the boys in the Ninja Academy, but "once the boys get serious, the girls cannot keep pace". Fujimoto points out that this does not upset Sakura, who is now surpassed by Naruto. Character development based on female roles, when it does occur, again uses stereotypical roles: Tsunade, for example, a middle-aged woman with large breasts, is a clear mother figure, and when she teaches Sakura to be a medical ninja, which requires special skills possessed only by women, the story reinforces the idea that women only belong on the battlefield as healers. Tsunade herself, who is a figure of authority in ''Naruto'', is portrayed as ridiculous in a way that men in the same position are not. Fujimoto suggests this presentation of women may explain why the female characters are often the most disliked characters among readers of the manga.<ref>{{cite book|title=Manga's Cultural Crossroads|first=Yukari|last=Fujimoto|date=2013|publisher=[[Taylor and Francis]]|isbn=978-1-134-10283-9|location=Hoboken|pages=175–177|chapter=Women in Naruto, Women Reading Naruto|editor1-last=Berndt|editor1-first=Jacqueline|editor2-last=Kümmerling-Meibauer|editor2-first=Bettina}}</ref><br />
