Deezer’s international expansion has been faster than any other digital music service – it’s now available in more than 182 countries and in every continent in the world – and these partnerships make Deezer the new dominant digital music service provider via smart TVs. In the last year alone, around 43 million smart TVs were sold worldwide, and it is predicted that this number will rise to 95 million by 2016.

Deeze chief executive Axel Dauchez says, “We are committed to delivering a music revolution. Deezer is already available directly via a number of hi-fis and in-car entertainment systems – and of course on most smart phones, tablets and PCs – but we believe that putting Deezer at the heart of the TV experience marks the next innovation for music. For many of us, the living room is the heart of the home, and we want Deezer to be a part of that.

“We’re now one step closer to breaking down all barriers to music and helping to ensure that people can listen to Deezer anywhere on any device.”

Deezer subscribers will have instant access to all their favourite playlists, tracks and Deezer recommendations via their smart TV. If you don’t have a subscription, you can still enjoy Deezer’s discovery mode, which offers unlimited access to Deezer’s extensive catalogue of artist-based and themed radio channels, and allows music fans to browse the Deezer library and listen to 30-second clips of any of the 20 million tracks.

Smart Business Centre at LG Electronics senior vice president Richard Choi says, “We are providing our customers with a new on-demand content service that enables browsing, sharing, organizing and, of course, listening to songs from a huge range of international artists.

“LG was the first company to integrate Deezer – a service already available for PCs, tablets and smartphones – in its Smart TV line-up. Going forward, LG and Deezer will continue to explore ways to deliver innovative music experiences on Smart TVs and other media platforms.”

Deezer will be available on all LG smart TV models produced from 2011 (available worldwide). It will also be available on all Toshiba smart TV models since 2011 (Europe and MEA/Asia, Pacific) and on all smart TV models produced from 2013 (worldwide).
