Spotify has yet again revealed the nation’s listening habits and Vance Joy’s unkillable 2013 hit Riptide is the Australian song we listened to most this year. But why?
Australians logging into Spotify this morning may have been surprised – or perhaps not at all – to see that a decade-old folk pop song was the nation’s most streamed song by an Australian artist this year.
The streaming platform releases an annual roundup of its most played tracks every December called Spotify Wrapped, which reveals national trends as well as leaving some users amused, confused and ashamed about their individual listening habits.
