The Spotify Facebook Timeline - A History of Music

Following the launch of Facebook’s new Timeline feature to fan pages, Spotify has today launched its own Timeline – A History Of Music. The Timeline dates back to 900AD and turns the Spotify Facebook fan page into a destination where fans can discover, share and listen to the history of music. Music lovers will be able to learn when Frank Sinatra released his first album, what year Monteverdi was born, relive the vibrant 60s and 70s and, if they're masochistic, remind themselves of when Britney released her devastating… Baby One More Time.

Of course, Spotify is just getting started. The online streaming music provider will be adding more and more historical timeline landmarks in the coming weeks as well as keeping fans up to date with the freshest and most important music moments of today. Spotify will also be appealing to music lovers to get in touch and reveal their own seminal music moments from history to ensure the timeline is ever evolving.

"It's impossible to even begin to capture every important moment in music, but the new Facebook Timeline has enabled us to at least start out on this musical journey and discover some incredible facts we never knew. We hope music fans will dive in and enjoy these amazing milestones as well as contribute to keep our Spotify Timeline evolving."

- Dave Altarescu, US Marketing Director
