My Question or Issue

Hi,

l’ve noticed a strange thing here on Spotify; on certain albums Spotify removed part of the songs, listed on these albums. For example, the album This left feels right from Bon Jovi from 2003 contained 12 songs when I saved it on Spotify. But when I wanted to listen to it lately, I discovered that now only 3 songs are listed. The other songs are gone. 

Same goes for the OST of the movie Backdraft. The album still exists on Spotify but all the songs on the album are gone. 
I’m not talking about playlists here. It’s about complete albums. Can someone explain to me why Spotify does this? I can imagine that Spotify removes complete albums for various reasons but why remove 9 songs and leave 3? Or remove all the songs while the album is still findable?

Hey @Manutan 

The availability of music on Spotify is up to the artists and their music label.

If the music is unavailable, the artist or their music label may have decided to not make it available in Spotify.

Please check this Support article here for more info. 🙂

Thanks for your reply! It’s still strange that the artist or label removes 9 songs and leaves 3 though…..but anyway, I know now that it’s not Spotify doing this.
