Spotify has announced that independent music is "proving to be hugely popular" on the music streaming service.
The online company has revealed that over 20% of the music played by members via the service is indie content which Spotify says, "shows that users are very broad in their music taste".
Half of that 20% is from Merlin, who has licensed over 6000 indie labels to Spotify, including Beggars, Domino, Kontor New Media, Koch, Wagram, Epitaph, PIAS, Finetunes, K7! and Warp.
And indie fans should stay tuned to Spotify, it says: "We are adding new independent music all the time from various labels, content aggregators and others".
