Happy Birthday Spotify!

We have sung its praises and we have called it the victor in the war of online music.  Spotify the lovely green circle that allows you to hear virtually anything you want to at any time at all. 

The service celebrated its one year anniversary on Friday and well it unleashed some interesting statistics.

27, 834, 742 songs have been shared in just this one year. Second only to Facebook and with a very minute margin between them.

Spotify has enhanced its service but entering the Android market and adding a free radio stream, that alone is worth the nod.  Pandora and I heart Radio are weak and predictable, Spotify offers so much more and that on top of the incredibly endless supply of new old and obscure tunes.  I am completely addicted to Spotify radio.  Today alone I listened to everything from Jilted John to Ian Dury- fabulous stuff.  I'm finding new music and rediscovering old music, I cannot praise it enough.

It is just a matter of time before Spotify secures the number one spot for Americans to get their music.  I have yet to hear a negative comment other than a few people who have had the app lock up on their mobile device. As for me on my pc- endless perfection.
