Does songs get eventually deleted?

Hello, I just have a question.
Does Spotify delete songs people barely listen to?

Like Youtube when they delete videos that generate no views.

Have you heard of a song being deleted or unable to find after you've saved it?
Thanks.

Hi @Edumcg, welcome to the Spotify Community!

No, Spotify does not delete songs people barely listen to.

Unfortunately, missing or unavailable music is almost always a decision by the artist/label to withhold the content from Spotify. Sometimes it's temporarily unavailable while they sort out legal issues or correct metadata, in which case it'll be back up as soon as they resubmit it to Spotify. While it might be a good idea to contact the label directly and ask why the music isn't on Spotify, you can also use Twitter and Facebook to ask the artists themselves.

You might also be interested in supporting this idea, which suggests a simpler method for requesting albums missing from Spotify.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
