Why isn't Regional at Best on Spotify??

Solved!

Why isn't Regional at Best on Spotify??

So I am a big fan of Twenty One Pilots. I have a playlist just for their songs. Anyways, when I tried to access the Regional at Best album, it won't let me play the music. The only way for me to listen to those songs is on Pandora 😞 Plz help!

Availability of music on Spotify is up to the artists (or representatives / rights owner) and / or their labels. Music missing can be a decision of one of them.

 

Music missing can also be related to a licensing problem. Licensing rules are not the same from a country to another. That can lead to have music available in some countries and not in some others. Usually when a licensing problem is solved the music can be added or come back if it has been removed.

 

Spotify wants all the music in the world to stream and works hard daily for trying to convince artists and labels to let all their catalog in streaming.

Hey @jhkljfhlkjhs, thanks for reaching out to us for help!

 

Could you let us know the country where you're currently located? We'll check the album availability from our end.

 

All the best 🙂

The United States

 

Hey @jhkljfhlkjhs.

 

Fingers crossed we'll be able to have it soon, but there's more info about Spotify content here

 

Let us know if there's anything else we can help with 🙂

Regional at best isn't on spotify because of the tracks repeated on vessel, and because of copyright issues spotify cant remove the repeated songs, and make it a ten track album, it just wouldn't be legal

Why the **bleep** does this have only 12 votes this is a really big issue guy!!!

I totally agree this made me angry and I really want to see that album show up it’s really good it’s really catchy and I to have my own playlist just for twenty one pilots

And so what if there’s repeated songs there’s plenty of albums that have repeated songs on each other like every remastered album

Hey, 

 

For some reason, Regional at Best isn't widely available. It sucks, but yeah. However, there are easy ways around this.

realy!!?? like what

The worst thing is that Pandora shut down in Australia so you can't listen to it there

If they really wanted to I’m sure they could release the songs as singles

Hat are the “easy” ways around this

I know this is an old question but I wanted to comment anyway. Can't Spotify add it as an EP? I know they can't make it an "album" because of the repeated songs but if they uploaded it as an EP just with the song that aren't available that'd be sick. Honestly the boys should just rerecord the song that aren't available and release it as an EP themselves 🙂

So could you explain to me how there are "Deluxe" albums? Same songs with a few more or less.
