    I’d be curious to know what portion of that 40% that *has* heard of Deezer thinks it’s that band that does that song about Buddy Holly and Mary Tyler Moore.

    Surprising. Cause reading this blog you’d think Spotity was single handily destroying the world. Yet so many people have never HEARD of them. Let alone use them.

      As much as I “defend” Spotify, I’ve always said their marketing is horrendous. I’m actually surprised it’s not higher.

    I’m a bit surprised that Spotify isn’t a bit higher. But what really surprised me is iTunes. Hasn’t almost everybody either purchased a song / album / movie, or owned an iPod at one point in time?

      Was in a meeting at a major label with some of their marketing team about three years ago – we mentioned iTunes and the conversation went something like this…

      Major Label Marketing Exec: “Who?”
      Us: “iTunes. You know, Apple iTunes.”
      MLME: “What’s iTunes?”
      Us: “Err… the digital music store?!”
      MLME: “Never heard of them.”

      True story.
