I once audited the playlist of local radio stations. I recorded a few months worth of data and asked, for each day, week, and the full time period, what # of songs constituted 50% of overall song playtime. In all commercial formats in my market, the number was under 75, and in most under 50. I find Spotify pretty crummy at surfacing new music, but it's a lot better than the same 30-50 songs being played again and again and again and again.
- spiderfarmer 6y agoSpotify is actually pretty good at surfacing new music when compared to radio stations. As a music lover I never had it this good. If you just rely on Discover Weekly it offers you more new songs than you could ever discover by listening radio and if you're a little more proactive, you can discover new music in myriad ways.
