The race for the top slot was a tight one. Grooveshark took home the prize with 31% of the vote beating out Pandora (29%) by a little more than 200 votes. Following Pandora, Last.fm (14%) and Spotify (13%) engaged in a similar neck and neck battle for the third and fourth spots respectively. Trailing behind them was Lala with 5% of the vote, not a bad show for a new and relatively unknown service.

I’m surprised that the one that won is as service that I’ve never heard of, but maybe I just need to check it out! I still think Spotify will be huge once it eventually comes to the US and I’m definitely counting down the days until this happens. I’m guessing that its lack of popularity, comparatively, is because it’s restricted to only certain countries at the moment, which is a shame because it has so much potential use in the music classroom. That said, though, I still think there’s nothing like actually having the music, but streaming services definitely have their uses.
