I was going through the new release site on everynoise.com that I think was posted upthread and noticed that some group called "Craft" that is definitely not the black metal group of that same name is miscategorized as black metal. Not sure if this messes anything else up. Sucks when you search for Craft now that all the results are cluttered with this other group, but not sure if genre tags could even fix that. Maybe if you filtered out DK Records, or just specified the black metal genre.

The countries in The Needle are the ones where there is sufficient Spotify activity to produce emerging-song signal, so more will appear automatically as Spotify adds countries, or as usage increases in countries where we've already launched...

A collection of The Golden Eagle Gospel Singers recorded work titled "Tone the Bell" was put up; this only supplements a Document album that was already on offer but it's an excellent opportunity for anyone unfamiliar with this music to try it now.
I'll argue this is as strong and enjoyable and memorable as gospel music gets.

This seems pretty damning for labels. I guess by having Spotify take the rap for not paying artists the labels get away w doing the same and not taking the blame.
