The premium subscribers of the music service Spotify (Spotify) will notice from today a small but quite noticeable change in the app: when listening to the album, the default option will now be playback in the order of the tracks, from the beginning to the end of the album. To date, by default the app has played albums, by default, by selecting a random order of songs from the album without presetting.
This change comes, according to the company, following a direct request made to them on behalf of Adele. The singer even took care to thank Spotify personally On the Twitter account its. “That was my only request,” the singer wrote. ‘We do not put so much effort and thought into creating the order of the songs on our albums for no reason. Our art tells a story, and this story needs to be listened to in the right order. Thanks to Spotify. ‘
The timing of the announcement and the change is of course not accidental, as only a few days ago Adele released her new album 30, which has already conquered the arenas and become the song that won the most listens in one day, overtaking previous highs, Korean boy band BTS.
Spotify points out that for users who actually want to listen to the songs of an album in random order, this option still exists. On the player screen itself you have to select the point mode option, and from that moment on the songs of the album will be selected in random order.
