Spotify have seen their best year yet despite a number of new players in the ‘music streaming war’, notably Tidal and Apple Music. Rather than letting new competitors discourage Spotify they have carried on, bringing numerous new features to the service including Discover Weekly<\/a>\u00a0and ‘In Residence<\/a>‘ sessions with artists and music experts.<\/p>\n
