 * Symbol confirmed.svg QPQ is met. No copyright violations or too-close paraphrasing. The article is suitably lengthy, the date is okay, and the referencing is thorough, with at least one reference per paragraph in the article body. Online sources confirm every aspect of every hook, here and in the article. The first hook is suitable, if one wanted to have a sort of puzzler DYK entry. The ALT1 hook is somewhat iffy because we don't really know what the attitude was of the Spotify spokesperson. Was it joking? (I think it was.) Was it criticism? (I doubt it.) I also don't like the hidden piped link to John Cage's 4'33", and there's some guideline (can't find it now) that deprecates wikilinks within direct quotes. The ALT2 hook is just as suitable as the first hook. So I'm recommending this go ahead with either the original hook or the ALT2 hook. Binksternet (talk) 23:12, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
