Cant play certain songs on album

[Jackieimani]

Hi,

Why is it that when I search an ablum and click into it, that I can only play certain songs off the album? See example below

It's a licensing issue with the label. Sometimes songs aren't available period, or they are only licensed for specific regions (UK, Asia, etc.). Hovering over the play counts, all the greyed out songs have never been available for listening on Spotify (<1,000 plays).

Oh ok. That's a bummer. But it doesn't happen often so I guess I can't
complain 🙂
