Spotify reveal which Aussies artists, songs and albums are streamed the most
A fortnight or so ago, Spotify turned six – which means they have now entered Year 1 at school, and are probably old enough to watch The Simpsons now (don’t worry; the sex stuff will go over their heads).
They have crunched the numbers, and this morning revealed a slew of information about how Aussies artists are faring on the platform. Given Spotify is the way most people imbibe music these days, it’s safe to say this is a fair sizeable and reliable sample size.
