Later in the chat, Björk pointed out that the publicly visible metrics on platforms like Spotify have fueled chart obsession. As a result, musicians sacrifice artistic integrity for instant success. “I agree streaming is kinda ruining music sadly it’s causing artists to make short songs just for fame,” chimed another user.

Björk isn’t staying oh so quiet about how much she hates Spotify. In fact, the streaming platform is “probably the worst thing that has happened to musicians,” the “Army Of Me” singer proclaimed in a recent interview with Swedish news outlet Dagens Nyheter (via Consequence).

Spotify is probably the worst thing that has happened to musicians.” Despite new agreements between the world’s largest music label and one of the largest providers of music streaming services, the Icelandic artist’s words continue to ring true.

Björk is doing a lot with Apple right now — she recorded a DJ set for them on New Year’s Eve, sat down for a big interview with Zane Lowe this week, and her Cornucopia concert movie will premiere on Apple Music and Apple TV+ tonight before the full version screens in theaters.

Björk has singled out Spotify as the "worst thing that has happened to musicians" while commenting on the impact of streaming.
