Pink Floyd, one of the classic rock holdouts to the platform, will come to Spotify if listeners stream the song "Wish You Were Here" 1 million times
The group announced the initiative via its Twitter feed:
Help stream Wish You Were Here 1 million times to unlock Pink Floyd's catalogue on @Spotify: http://t.co/PpNjKAm3AX #floydcountdown

The music service announced the program on Friday. Pink Floyd's catalog is owned by EMI Records. Spotify inked a deal with EMI in 2011, but Pink Floyd's catalog - including Dark Side of the Moon, which sold 50 million copies worldwide - was not included in that deal
