Why can't I play this artist's songs anymore?

[Just_Random]

Hi,

I have noticed that I cannot play any songs that a specific artist has created, so I searched online and saw a possibility that it is unavailable and it might come back, so I waited. All the songs are greyed out and not even can you play them on Spotify, you can't even find them on YouTube! It's like they have completely disappeared. Does anyone know what has happened? This has been going on for a few weeks now.

Hi @Just_Random,

Thanks for posting in the Spotify Community!

Availability of music on Spotify can vary over time and between countries according to licensing agreements between rights holders, such as artists and labels. Spotify adds new content every day, so if you can’t find something you’re looking for right now, it may appear (or reappear) soon. You can also feel free to contact the artist or record label with your query as well.

If the music by this artist that you’d like to listen to isn't on Spotify, it would be great for you to try these steps as well:

• You can fill out this form to register your interest.
• In the meantime, you can import local files to your Spotify library.

I hope this helps, and let us know if you have any other questions.

Have a good day!

Hi @nobodybutsomebody,

Thanks for posting in the Spotify Community, and welcome!

Availability of music on Spotify varies over time and between countries, depending on permissions from rights holders. If you can’t find something, it may appear (or reappear) soon though, since Spotify adds new content every day.

For more information on the matter, you can reach out to the artist or their record label on social media or via their website. And in the meantime, if you have this song as a file saved on your device, you can import it as a local file to Spotify by following these steps. 

Let me know if you have any other questions, and have a good day!
