How (or why) would Spotify benefit from that though?

I can't remember the reasons, but I read an article some time ago about Spotify. They said about 4 million songs (20%) on their servers has never been played.
There is even a third party app created that randomly suggests never listened to songs based on your criteria.

It's tied into Spotifies discovery technology. Spotify do want you to expand your listening and find new music as it maintains the interest for musicians to keep utilising the platform.
