We’re a nation with an immense passion for music and Spotify is proud to be part of that. 2 years have flown by – this year alone we’ve rolled out a sleek new design, improved functionality, and free Spotify on mobile and tablet devices, making it easier to listen to, discover and share more music than ever before. Thank you Australia for making us the number 1 music streaming destination of choice.”
