Hi @Najtprowler and welcome to the community!

Spotify wants all the world’s music on Spotify. However, some artists and tracks aren't currently available. Sometimes agreements can’t be reached with the artist or label or a change may happen in music ownership.

However, please know thousands of albums and artists are added to Spotify every day. If you can’t find an artist you’re looking for, they may appear (or reappear) soon.

In the meantime, feel free to contact the artist or their label to ask when they plan to be on Spotify. Alternatively, if you have the track, you can link it to your Spotify Local Files via the desktop app: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Answers/How-do-you-add-Local-Files-to-the-Desktop-app/ta-p/1308221

Thanks!

Hi,

All the other albums and songs is already on spotify.
It's just 3 songs missing, seems more like it's from Spotifys side rather than the label itself then?
Can't see any reason why the label would say no to just these three songs, should't the whole album be missing instead then?

Hello,

It looks like it's been awhile since your post, but I wanted to answer this question in case you were still wondering!

Sometimes artists or their record label will choose not to release specific songs from an album that does have songs on Spotify. This could be for a variety of reasons. However, Spotify is adding music every day, so it's possible that these songs could become available in the future.

Here's a good post from last year on the topic that goes a bit more in depth. Hope this helps!
