You won’t believe what 18-24s are digging on Spotify these days

Spotify always digging through the data generated by the 100 million+ people that use the platform, which provides fascinating insights on how people are listening to music.

A blog entry from May 20 looks at the behaviour of 18-24-year-old users. This demo seems to have an insatiable thirst for discovering new music and will not be restricted by quaint notions of genre and era.
