Metallica is reportedly using the data it gets from Spotify to help craft the setlists for their shows. At least, this is what Spotify CEO Daniel Ek claimed during the company’s earning call on Thursday (July 26). Ek said the band would check the listening habits on Spotify of its fans to create a setlist that will cater to fans of the city they’re playing at to add some of the most popular songs in that area. Metallica hasn’t confirmed the report yet. But it wouldn’t come as a surprise if they did. The band seems to be especially attentive to their fans. They even make recordings of live shows so fans can buy the audio files on livemetallica.com.
