Missing an album that was there previously

[brandongottier]

Hello,

There was an album from 10 Years called From Birth to Burial that came out in April this year.  It was there for awhile and then disappeared for me.  I had it on a playlist and now the playlist is empty.  I try to open the album from the web player and all of the songs are greyed out.  Here is a link to the web player for the album

https://open.spotify.com/album/6he4YqmR9Or5A8wBk1yHKB

Can someone tell me what happened?  When will it be back?

Maybe the artist pulled the album from Spotify.

If you have bought and downloaded the songs on iTunes or a similar service, you can link those files to Spotify.

All of their other albums from the same label remain.  That doesnt make sense.  And why would I download them from another source?  Thats the reason I pay for Spotify.

I'm sad to say that it's no longer available for streaming on Spotify.

At least, in the United States.

Sometimes the album is released in certain countries first.

The truth is, not every album / song is available on Spotify.

The availability of songs on Spotify is up to the artist and their music label, not Spotify themselves.

Not that it helps but no one knows except spotify why its pulled and if it's ever coming back.

It's on another streaming service though ATM.

Thanks for the info, @MikeJamesaus!

Just an update, there are some song (only 4) available now...doesnt make sense.  Why would a third of the album be on there?!  Frustrating

It could be that the missing tracks are exclusive to a certain outlet, such iTunes.

Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy with school!

I can see the whole album on Spotify here in Germany.
