Back in early 2009 we reported on how ShareMyPlaylists.com was a pretty useful tool for letting Spotify users, well, share their playlists.
The week after ShareMyPlaylists rolled out its very own music discovery and playlist-sharing Spotify app, the company has now published its Top 100 Tracks of 2011.
The songs are determined by the number of playlists the songs have been added to, multiplied by the number of plays they received during 2011.
“What’s probably most interesting is that back-catalogue songs are represented just as much, if not more, than chart material,” says Kieron Donoghue, founder of ShareMyPlaylists.com. “This shows the value of older catalogues on Spotify as well as new releases.”
