November 30, 2011: Spotify has teamed up with eight of the world’s biggest music acts to create a musical advent calendar for the festive season. Leona Lewis, Jason Derulo, Kelly Clarkson, Maroon 5, Ryan Adams, Westlife, Pixie Lott and Primal Scream have given their personal selection of songs for the 24 days of Christmas.

Each day in December, leading up to Christmas, users of the Spotify Festive Playlist app will be able to reveal one artist’s personal selection each day with some very unexpected choices along the way.

The Spotify Festive Playlist Facebook app goes live on Thursday 1st December, and will provide music fans with an insight in to the tracks that define their Christmas. Once connected to the ‘Festive Playlist’ at apps.facebook.com/spotifyfestive, fans will be directed to each artists Spotify playlist where they can enjoy a new song chosen by their favourite artist every day.

From Mariah Carey to Elvis Presley, Bruce Springsteen to Tinie Tempah and Michael Buble to theMötley Crüe, the Festive Playlist offers 24 little parcels of musical joy to savor and share. That’s got to be better than a crusty chocolate or picture of a busy elf. Chart topper, Pixie Lott said of her selection; “It’s my fave time of year so I’ve done a special festive playlist that includes some classics and my all time fave Christmas song, it always gets me excited.”

 

Putting a new spin on the Christmas compilation, fans can now unlock the greatest soundtrack to the festive season compiled by their favourite pop and rock stars.

Nikki Lambert, European Marketing Director for Spotify, explains; “The advent calendar ritual of opening a new door each day to discover a new treat, is one of the most fun things about the run up to Christmas. And what could be better to be revealed each day than a favourite track from your favourite artist? We have worked with some of the biggest stars in the world to make this the only Advent Calendar you’ll need this year!”

If you are looking to give someone you love the gift of music this Christmas, Spotify now offers gift cards. They come in three handy amounts. So, depending on how much you like someone, you can choose a 10 pound, 30 pound or 50 pound gift card! Your friends can redeem the card for a Spotify subscription, or download tracks to keep – it’s their choice.
