How do I find the title of songs made unavailable?

How do I find the title of songs made unavailable?

I have a song in my playlist that Spotify apparently made unavailable at some point in time. I am okay with that, but I would like to know which song it was. Unfortunately, there is only an empty placeholder left and I cannot find any information about the song anymore. Any idea on how I can recover the name of the song? (Note that this is different from songs that just become "blurred" and unplayable, but are still recognizable.)

 

Here's the song: https://open.spotify.com/track/7oeA6KfI7yKmjCQ26tppRF

Hello @crunchy_banana 

 

Whatever this used to be, there's no trace of it left even on google. It looks like the artist pulled everything from Spotify and this shell of a track was left behind from the process. I found a reddit post of someone with a similar issue, they were able to remember what artist it used to be though.

 

Interesting, too. I thought empty tracks would just disappear.

Hi there,

This is a late reply. I still hope this post can help you and others down the road.
I had a playlist created over a time period that was extra special for me. Like you I ran into the mentioned situation. A couple of songs from the playlist turned into place holder (not just blurred out as unplayable).

I was able to retrieve my two tracks' info by doing the following:

1. Find the link of song which contains unique track by click the three dots --> share --> copy link to song (I used web player).

2. give the link(s) to a Spotify support staff.

And huge thanks to the Spotify support team! I never thought a playlist could mean so much to me.
