Facebook is not partnering with Spotify in any way.

- This "icon" on the left of the homepage is simply a bookmark, a feature that any application on Facebook can choose to use.

- Facebook is an open platform and has yet to choose a winner among third parties for anything, and when they do they buy them and rebuild the product in house.

- Spotify does not work in the United States.

- Spotify simply has deep Facebook integrations, tech writers are either completely misunderstanding the information they stumbled upon OR they are blatantly turning this into a bigger story in order to get page views and attention.
