My Question or Issue

Hi Spotify,

The Rotana Music catalog is missing — which means huge artists like Amr Diab, Elissa, Tamer Hosny, Najwa Karam, Amer Mounib, Angham and Assala Nasri aren’t on Spotify. This gives the competition an advantage in the MENA region.

Rotana is one of the biggest labels in the Middle East, and adding their catalog would make Spotify the top choice for listeners here. Please make this happen!

Hey @minakeriakos!

Thanks for reaching out 🌟

The availability can vary over time and between countries, depending on the permissions from rights holders. That's why sometimes you may see some content unavailable in the app. You can read more about this here.

Hope this clears things up! Take care!

Thanks for the response! 🌟

I understand availability depends on rights holders, but in this case I really wish Spotify would take the initiative to renew or pursue a contract with Rotana, rather than waiting passively. Rotana is such a major label in the MENA region, and their catalog is essential for making Spotify the leading platform here.

I hope Spotify can actively work on securing this partnership — it would make a huge difference for listeners in the Middle East.
