PlayStation Music Users Love Drake, and Other First-Year Stats Revealed

PlayStation Music, Sony's streaming music service powered by Spotify, was released a year ago across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and other Sony devices. To celebrate the anniversary, Spotify today shared some first-year statistics, beginning with the fact that PS Music reached 5 billion streams in the first year.

In terms of popularity by artist, "Hotline Bling" singer Drake was the most-streamed artist globally during PS Music's first year. The most-streamed track, meanwhile, was "Leon On (feat. MØ & DJ Snake)" by Major Lazer.

In the US, Drake also reigned supreme, as he was the most-streamed artist and had the most popular song, "Jumpman."

Spotify also announced that across the world and in the US, Saturday proved to be PS Music's most popular day in terms of time spent streaming. The most popular hour of the week was 8-9 PM on Friday worldwide.

Background music support is also coming to Xbox One through a future update, though it remains to be seen if this will be done through a partnership with Spotify or by leveraging Microsoft's own Groove service. For its part, Sony has said Spotify may not be exclusive to PlayStation forever.
