Spotify Newsletter #140
Your Weekly Dose of Spotify News
Hello and welcome to the latest issue of Spotify Newsletter.
We are inching closer to the heart of the holidays … but the Spotify news doesn’t stop!
And I’m delivering, baby! Today and even next Friday - right before Santa starts his journey from the North Pole.
Then we’ll be ready to ring in the New Year. Time is just zooming by!
I appreciate you taking a few minutes on your Friday to check on All Things Spotify with me.
Have a terrific weekend. :)
