The music platform immediately reached millions and was listed by ''The New York Times'' among the "top three must-try web sites in the new year". fizy was founded when music streaming was becoming popular and attracted attention thanks to its ease of use and neat design. In January 2011, it was recognized as the "World's Best Music Service" at Mashable Awards.
Turkish Phonographic Industry Society (MÜYAP) sued fizy for allowing access to music without any royalty payments. On December 28, 2010, Beyoğlu Court ruled in favor of MÜYAP and restricted access to fizy.

Ercan Yaris sold 40% of his shares to an interactive as agency named ReklamZ. The company was them sold to Turkcell. After the acquisition by Turkcell, fizy went through some significant change. As of today, more than 35 million songs are available on fizy.
