Spotify's press release highlights the success of Canadian music on its platform, noting that Canadian artists were discovered 3.8 billion times last year and royalties exceeded $435 million CAD from 2018 to 2023. The release criticizes the CRTC's outdated criteria for defining Canadian content, which excludes many successful artists due to the global nature of their collaborations. It mentions artists like Tate McRae and Ikky as examples of Canadian success stories not fitting the CRTC criteria. Spotify advocates for an updated definition of Canadian and Indigenous music to reflect the global success of Canadian artists, as their revenue on Spotify grew by over 15% in 2023, outpacing the global industry.
