CBSN
Thousands of listeners were left without access to tunes and podcasts on Sunday after music streaming service Spotify was down temporarily on Sunday.
More than 40,000 people reported outages with the music platform on downdetector.com, a website that allows users to report problems with popular apps and services. Reports started spiking around 10:45 a.m. ET.
In Spotify's desktop app, some users were greeted with the error message, "Something went wrong," and attempts to play tracks were unsuccessful. Spotify's phone app was also unresponsive to some users.
An American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members aboard collided with an Army helicopter Wednesday night while coming in for a landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington. The Black Hawk helicopter was carrying a crew of three. Officials said early Thursday that everyone on board both aircraft is believed dead, which would make it the deadliest U.S. air crash in nearly a quarter century.
