href=\"http:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/events\/year-in-music-2014\/6406334\/spotify-daniel-ek-year-end-2014\">to do a better job of explaining to artists how streaming benefits them<\/a>.&#8221; \u00a0Warner Music Group CEO Stephen Cooper knows that <a title=\"warner music group music streaming\" href=\"http:\/\/recode.net\/2014\/12\/15\/warner-music-says-it-loves-streaming-music-as-long-as-listeners-are-paying-for-it\/\">music steaming is important to their business<\/a>, but Spotify needs to figure out how to keep artists onboard. \u00a0Artists are already leaving Spotify, namely <a title=\"taylor swift spotify\" href=\"http:\/\/pagesix.com\/2014\/11\/12\/taylor-swift-defends-her-spotify-pull\/\">Taylor Swift with her recent launch of 1989<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully Spotify&#8217;s newest feature, Your Year In Music, brings some positivity to their service. \u00a0The goal is simple. \u00a0They want to show you, with infographics, what kind of music you are into. \u00a0 Here&#8217;s the breakdown:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Top Genre and %<\/li>\n<li>Top 5 Artists, Albums, Playlists<\/li>\n<li>Top 10 tracks + an option to make a playlist out of your Top 100<\/li>\n<li>What countries you listened to Spotify (one of my fav features)<\/li>\n<li>Seasonal favs<\/li>\n<li>How you listen to Spotify (mobile, desktop, etc)<\/li>\n<li>Total # of minutes listening to Spotify &#8211; I&#8217;m

\u00a0Digitally, they have the web experience figured out. \u00a0Now just need to work on the good ol&#8217; fashioned business relationship.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1397\" class=\"thumbnail
