Music streaming platform Spotify is back available to most users after suffering a global outage that affected tens of thousands of people, outage tracking website Downdetector.com reported Monday.

The US outage was down to about 1,000 incidents of people reporting problems with the platform as of 10:30 a.m. ET, compared to a peak of nearly 36,000 user reports, Downdetector notes.

Reports in the United Kingdom dropped to almost 250 after more than 10,300 problems were recorded that same day, says the website, which tracks outages by collecting status reports from various sources.

Spotify shares fell nearly 3% in morning trading.
