Spotify's highlight is its playlists and the music streaming service has come up with an interesting limited-time feature. Spotify has a playlist for pretty much every emoji you can find on your smartphone.

This campaign was launched in celebration of World Music Day held on June 21, and Spotify has partnered with Twitter for the same. It's a week-long campaign and interested users can get on Twitter to take part in this emoji-playlist campaign.

All users have to do this tweet an emoji with the hashtag #PlayThis. You will get an automated response from Spotify along with the playlist that best represents the emoji you've chosen. For example, if you tweet with the sort of laughing emoji, Spotify suggests its “Just Smile” playlist. It has tracks like Bob Marley's One Love, Morgan Heritage's Sunday Morning and Angel's Blessing.
