Poppify!

Are you in Spotify? I've started a collaborative Poptimists playlist. Put on any interesting new things you find!

(To make things more manageable I'm going to start one every month or so.)

Hmm I am not convinced this will work...

Spotify's selection is a lot worse than I thought it was when I first tried it out - definitely much less than itunes, 7digital etc.

yes its Classic Prog selection is indeed lamentable

Set up a free shared playlist on 7digital or itunes then!

Seriously though, I think on current urban and dance music you're right - Spotify's selection isn't great: I suspect because so many new tracks in those areas exist in a murky area vis-a-vis actual releases. I was pleasantly surprised though that ALL (save one) of the 50s No.1s were up there!

Does anyone have any idea how a track gets to be on Spotify or doesn't?

I've seen a few things on there which have then been removed for some reason e.g. the 'Lemurian' album by Lone
