Songs I have played are now greyed out

I played one of my favorite comedy albums on Spotify two weeks ago. I went back tonight to play it again and all tracks but one are greyed out. I've tried clearing cache as suggested here. I also found that the same tracks are greyed out on every other device my Spotify account is logged into. If I search for the album on open.spotify.com it shows up and looks playable, but if I try to log in and play it, it is once again greyed out. How do I get it back?

Grayed out tracks and don't forget to pay your subscription for this**bleep**.

It's completely random songs that i actively listen to that are getting greyed out. I'll go check the artist and it turns out, every other song of theirs is playable.

I didn't block the song nor hide it from myself. This is clearly a glitch that is randomly greying out songs for no reason. Probably the same glitch that keeps removing, unliking and blocking artists at random honestly.

A large portion of the artist Calvin Harris’s songs are unavailable for me to listen to. They appear in my library but they can’t be played. This problem is weird because on other occasions, although it would be greyed out, it would still let me play. It seems to only be Calvin Harris songs that are doing this.

Hello,

I am experiencing the same issue as described above HOWEVER, the song is only unavailable in a playlist, it can be played in the original album - talking about a couple of songs from MAYHEM by Lady Gaga - Perfect Celebrity, for example, can be played if I listen to the song, but is greyed out and skipped when added to a playlist.

Most of the is blacked out on me in turkey, can y'all look if it is available?

A few songs in The Cure's compilation Join The Dots are blocked to me. The whole compilation is OK (4 CDs) so I don't think it's a licensing issue or else nothing would be available. Once one of their most classic albums, Pornography, was entirely unavailable. I'm in Brazil. 

This “make the party don’t stop” by bunny beats used to be on Spotify and then got taken off but the logo and stuff is still there and keeps saying add to playlist but adds nothing, what’s up with that, love this song and other songs from just dance 4 cd list are on there too. 

 

seems like utube is much better for music, I don’t have to sign in and there are way less ads to deal with too. 

Why isn't the 9 minute version of I Remember by deadmau5 not available on Spotify anymore when it's been available before for years?

I also have this issue, in this case with an album I produced - called "Truth", by Robert Williams.  I checked with the artist (Bob) who also has no idea why it is grayed out.  It is accessible on other streaming platforms, just an issue with Spotify.

 

I am in Australia, he is in Chicago, neither of us can access these tracks (his other albums are all available).  

 

Clearly this is not a licensing issue. Or if it is, it is a result of some new algorithm Spotify have imposed on their catalog that is causing a lot of fully licensed material to get ring fenced.
