Probably not. Someone using Spotify and their hypothetical music recognition service is more like someone using Google Search and Gmail which isn't a problem. This is more like is someone would search Spotify and artists from their own record label (or promotion company) were at the top of the search results.

That really helps my understanding of the matter. Thanks :)

If spotify is the only app used by 97% of all users, then yes. At that point, spotify also couldn’t refuse to list an interprets album.

Spotify is close to the 50 or 75% threshold. So would they also need to include Shazam's advertisements within their own app? Cause otherwise Shazam would still fail. I'm not understanding how this can work practically.
