For Spotify It’s 1 US Label Down, More to Go

Spotify has successfully licensed content from Sony Music in the US, according to the Wall Street Journal. As the rumor pans out to be true, it appears that Americans are one step closer to seeing Europe’s streaming music golden child in action. 

Going off of what Spotify has previously said, US users will have access to the free service for a limited number of hours each month — likely around the 40 hours that Pandora gives free users — and for anything beyond they will be required to pay for premium service levels. There are still a lot of labels to approach, but it is a solid start for the European streamer.
