Why is a song on my playlist is suddenly greyed out?

[RainyDayTaco]

I was able to play this song not even 24 hours ago. I cannot find any information too why its now unavailable. Since it was available in my country originally. Also, an acoustic version of the song is still available.

Hi @RainyDayTaco, thanks for writing.

If a track is greyed out, it means that it's currently unavailable in your country. Availability of music can vary over time and between countries, depending on agreements between Spotify and rights holders, such as artists or record labels; therefore, content sometimes isn't available right away.

Spotify is constantly working to add new content to the platform so hopefully your favorite music will be (back) up soon.

In the meantime, you can import local files to your Spotify library if you have this music as files on your computer.

You can also paste the song link here so that I can check in which countries it's available 😊

My Question or Issue

It is not the first time i come across an album where one or a coupe songs are unavailable to play (greyed-out). I find this unnerving cause i pay premium and the whole album should be available and not just a percentage of it. It can't be licensing cause the songs in the album are from the same artists/songwriters. We are not talking about a compilation here. This is unacceptable.

Please make an option to flag such songs so those in charge become aware and make them available.

Last example here: https://open.spotify.com/album/6nQyndMocWAyLR8v6DO1Zv

Track 5 from Disc 1 unavailable. All songs have the same songwriter and lyricist.

Hi, my song Arise from The Seige is greyed out. I tried finding the setting "show what songs are unavailable", but I didnt find anything. I did enable explicit content but it didn't work.

Having similar issue, read up and it says something on it not being available in my market..? I don't know what this means either.

Golden Earring's first acoustic album the Naked Truth used to be available but its songs are now greyed out.  It has been unsearchable and greyed out on old playlists for quite some time.  Both Naked Truth II and Naked Truth III are online and available, so is this some kind of oversight?
