This is how social distancing has brought a shift in Spotify streaming

With lockdowns keeping people indoors, there has been a fundamental change in the way people use their computers, cell phones, smart devices like Amazon Alexa and televisions to get their daily dose of music and news. Some shifts in the use of the Spotify audio streaming platform include:

1. Streaming of news podcasts has increased. Many people refrain from accessing news via print formats to avoid transmission of coronavirus, which spreads through contact, and many of them have switched to online streaming. Recognizing the Peak in Online News Streaming Spotify has a COVID-19 hub to help users get all the information in one place.

2. Listeners are more in the mood for & # 39; relaxed & # 39; music Listeners nowadays consume more relaxed melodies compared to the past. Users are currently listening to more acoustic and less energetic music which is why the app has many such playlists under the cold shelf.

3. Collaboration with playlists brings people together As more people spend time at home, many of them share their playlists with their loved ones and introduce their loved ones to new and favorite music. This brings people closer from a distance.

4. Livestream concerts witness a spike Now that the coronavirus is stopping many concerts, many of the artists are currently live streaming concerts. Gaining a concert-like experience at home, many music lovers also attend such virtual concerts on Spotify.

With the closing of other entertainment options like cinemas, shopping malls and adventure parks, music seems to be the last resort for many trying to stay motivated and overcome the challenging times. (ANI)
