Based on a few minutes of observation, Ed Sheeran is the most popular artist in the world.
Is there any sophistication behind the sound clip selection? Just a certain static point in each song, or some kind of algorithm to get to a recognisable part?
- iLoch 12y agoIt's using Spotify's preview of the song, so either an algorithm or manual selection I'd wager.
- kcimc 12y agothe clips are spotify's preview mp3s, which are selected at random from the song. i know at least one very clever person at spotify who is trying to extract the 'hook' or 'recognisable part', and it worked really well last time i listened.
