Certain songs have disappeared and are no longer available. What happened?

[AndrewDallas]

Certain songs are gone.  Case in point, "A Little Bit of Bad" by NRBQ and "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" by The Walker Brothers.

Any clue??

Hey @AndrewDallas, welcome to the Community!

Sometimes content gets temporarily removed because of licensing changes. Hopefully we'll have the tracks will be available again soon.

If you need anything else, let us know.

Content can be removed from Spotify is they lose access to it due to changes in license policies

^UNRESOLVED UPDATE* Scott Walker of the original Walker Brothers just passed away. Their biggest hit “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore” has been missing from Spotify’s library for over 7 years now. After researching songwriting and copyrighting distribution rights I can find no reason hindering it beyond Spotify’s refusal. It’s readily available on other music streaming sites, and Spotify still carries the original album and single, but without the title song. Why? MODERATOR please reply. Thank you.

Nope! Spotify still blocking “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore” from playing on US user accounts. Not cool.

I would like "Ven Aqui" by Audemar Rico back on Spotify

[Nanosec]

I really wish that they would release the heart is a monster by failure. They have all their other stuff on there I don't understand why this album is not on there which is a very good album.

Hi there folks,

Thank you for your replies in this thread.

We don’t have all the world’s music on Spotify even though we wish to, and what we do have varies over time and between countries. It all depends on permissions from rights holders.

We add new content every day, so if you can’t find something, it may appear (or reappear) soon.

Let us know if we can help you with anything else in the meantime 🙂

Take care!

Push It Fergasonic was a song that I used quite frequently in my choreography.  Any chance of a comeback?

[Alex]

Hey there @amycpaul,

We can't say for sure if the song would come back, as we don't have access to that kind of information. 

In most cases popular songs/ albums do get reuploaded to the app. 

Cheers.

Hey there,

Thanks for posting in the Community.

The availability of songs on Spotify is mostly governed by the rights holders of the songs. Due to different reasons songs may sometimes become unavailable. We don't know the exact reasons for the mentioned songs as this is beyond the scope of our capabilities. If you want to see a certain song back on Spotify, we encourage you to contact the distributing label and ask for more info.

Hope this clears things a bit,

Cheers!
