Spotify has celebrated its first birthday by giving Australia a look at what its been streaming in the past twelve months, as well as launching charts to reflect what’s being streamed and shared.

It’s a move that’s welcomed by the music industry, and provides interesting reading when compared with numbers on the Aircheck charts.

What do you make of the numbers in the Spotify 50 (for songs streamed) and Social 50 (for songs shared)? What (if any) are the implications for your station?
