Key Points

  • Why it matters: Spotify is the most popular local music streaming service
  • Its three music editors decide what will form the most listened to playlists
  • The service distributed around $250 million in royalties to Australians in 2022

Every week, Hannah Brewer, Jazmine Huggins and Amelia Jenner spend almost half of their time at work – about 20 hours – listening to as much new music released in Australia and New Zealand as they can.

As the three music editors at Spotify, the trio are some of the most powerful people in the local industry, deciding whether artists make it into key playlists that materially influence how $250 million in royalties is allocated.
