Will the Jay-Z albums come back to spotify?

Solved!

Will the Jay-Z albums come back to spotify?

Hello!

 

So I saw just now that all but three albums from Jay-Z are missing. I googled and found out that he withdrew them from Spotify. Are there any chances of them coming back in the near future?

Hi DomPfl! 

 

This is the response from the Spotify Star knowledge base (so i take it as official answer)

 

"Spotify wants all the world’s music on Spotify. However, some artists and tracks aren't currently available. Sometimes agreements can’t be reached with the artist or label or a change may happen in music ownership.

However, please know thousands of albums and artists are added to Spotify every day. If you can’t find an artist you’re looking for, they may appear (or reappear) soon.

In the meantime, feel free to contact the artist or their label to ask when they plan to be on Spotify. Thanks! " 

 

But an answer to you question

Then its all up to Jay-Z if he wants the music back but hopefully they will reapper soon (im a Jay-Z fan myself) 

 

 

Did this help? did i get it wrong?

I personally have some doubts that those albums will reappear soon... given the fact that he is waging a little "war" against other streaming platforms.

But thanks for the answer I guess we have to wait and see!

He's a principal partner in tidal. So much like we won't see any dr dre albums (he's on apple music) its highly likely we won't see him.

It is possible some day, although it is most likely to not be for a while. Because spotify and the artist's record label must agree, and JAY-Z pulled his albums, he likely did this because the contracts did not line up. Unless those can be sorted out, he is likely to stick primarily to apple music and tidal.
