Singapore, 5 December 2013 – Today, Spotify’s Year In Review reveals the biggest songs and artists of 2013, according to the listening habits of Spotify’s 24 million users all over the world. For the first time, music fans can create their very own Year In Review with all the artists they have been listening to throughout the year. During 2013, the year in which Miley Cyrus made twerking a global phenomenon, and we were left wondering “What Does The Fox Say?” a whopping 4.5 billion hours – almost 50,000 years – of music was streamed on Spotify.
Closer to home, Jay Chou was the most streamed artist in 2013, followed by Maroon 5. Spotify has revealed that Singapore listens to Maroon 5 281% more than the rest of the world.
P!nk’s Just Give Me A Reason took the prize for the most streamed song of the year, with more than 365,000 streams since its debut on Spotify. Daft Punk’s Get Lucky, which received the most streams in a single day, (20th April) came in second, and Justin Timberlake’s Mirrors is featured number 3 in the top chart.
While Vanessa-Mae is the most followed artist in Singapore, P!nk’s strong vocals and soulful music has placed her the most streamed female artist in Singapore, also putting Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey in second and third place respectively.
Globally, sixteen-year-old singer-songwriter Lorde was the most viral new artist on the Spotify Chart this year, which showcases the most shared tracks on the service each week, and Daft Punk’s Get Lucky was revealed to be the most viral track on Spotify this year.
Steve Savoca, Head of Content at Spotify, commented: “Congratulations to all the artists who achieved incredible success in 2013.
