Adding an Album to Spotify

[tdamery]

So I recently noticed an old album (Sea of No Cares, 2002) of the band Great Big Sea is missing from Spotify, and I am wondering if it is possible for Spotify to gain the rights to it and put it up. If so, how would I go about requesting them to look into it? I emailed support and tweeted at @spotifycares, but neither has resulted in a helpful response. Anyone else come across anything like this? This particular case is odd to me because the band broke up in 2013 so I don't know why they would deny Spotify from using that particular album.

Hey there @tdamery

When an album or song isn't added, or is removed, or made available only in certain regions, it's almost always the choice of the artist or label - spotify wants people to enjoy an expanding library of over 30 million tracks but individual copyright decisions aren't theirs to make.

Here's what you can do to get that added:

• Reach out to their page or label on social media or their site!
• You can fill out this form to register your interest.
• In the meantime, you can import local files to your spotify library
• You can also add your vote to this active idea!

Hope that helps! ^_^
