Canada’s first full six months with Spotify available in the territory has proven transformational. Total streaming volume was up to 10.5bn in the first half of 2015, according to Nielsen – which includes both video sites (YouTube, Vevo) and audio platforms (Spotify, Rdio etc.) That represents 67% growth on the last six months of 2014 – the first period in which streaming numbers were recorded.
