Check the volume sliders on both Spotify and your device to make sure that the volume is turned up and not muted. The service is also asking people to vote on the Wrapped issue so they have more data to work with. Unfortunately, there’s not much to do about this right now: Spotify has acknowledged the issues and is looking for bugs that are causing the problems. Many find that trying to watch their Wrapped story crashes the Spotify app or that it simply refuses to run. That’s fun, but the feature hasn’t worked for some people. Spotify’s newer Wrapped feature allows you to check stats and play slideshows/playlists that showcase your musical experience over the past year. If the problem is on their end, the best solution is to just wait for the service to get back online. If you suspect their servers are the main issue, it’s a good idea to head to Downdetector and see if there’s an increased spike of reports recently. By contrast, Rogan, whose podcast was made a Spotify exclusive in 2020, signed a deal with the streamer reported to be worth more than $100 million, according to the Wall Street Journal.Note: Spotify’s platform tends to be pretty stable, but it does crash occasionally. ![]() Last year, the New York Times reported that Spotify’s payout rate was estimated to be a half-cent per stream, a rate often split among record companies and artists.Įarlier this week, R&B artist India Arie said she was pulling her music from Spotify due to offensive comments Rogan made about race on an episode of his podcast – she also complained that Spotify does not pay its artists fairly. But how about paying artists for their work?”Īrtists have long taken issue with what they see as insufficient payment from Spotify. ![]() “There’s this hashtag going around, ‘Delete Spotify,’” she said. (In response to complaints of misinformation on its platform, Spotify said it would add content advisories to podcast episodes in which Covid-19 is discussed.) If users stop using Spotify or switch to a different streaming service, artists are still reliant on streams – millions of them – to make a living. Rather than putting the onus on musicians to pull their own work, Cash said, the public should put pressure on Spotify to monitor its content and pay artists more fairly. Joe Rogan responds to backlash from Spotify artists Joe Rogan exits the octagon following the women's flyweight fight between Miranda Maverick and Erin Blanchfield during the UFC 269 event at T-Mobile Arena on Decemin Las Vegas. “There are a lot of younger artists who are starting out can’t do it, or it would be sacrificing their income.” “These are digital platforms where they make a living, as paltry as it is,” she said. It’s also not always financially possible for artists to pull their music from Spotify, Cash said. Other artists, who have expressed support for artists like Young, are restricted in how much control they have over their music: ’90s rock group Belly displayed a “Delete Spotify” banner on their artist page because they can’t remove their music under their current contract, the Washington Post reported. “I wish they would explain how they were able to do that and why,” Cash told Rolling Stone.Ĭash said fans have tweeted at her waiting to see if she’ll pull her music from Spotify or help younger artists do the same, which she said “doesn’t make sense” because she’s not the sole rights holder of her music.

Young and Mitchell are “legacy artists,” Cash said, who “have the clout to get their labels to agree to pull their work” off Spotify. ![]() Rosanne Cash, speaking to Rolling Stone, said that while she “absolutely agree” with Young’s choice to remove his music from the streaming service, it’s “not viable for most artists” to do the same because they’re often less powerful than Young and Mitchell, don’t always own the rights to their work and often rely on streamers like Spotify to share their work and make money. But it’s not as easy for other stars, even those who’ve been in the music business for decades, to follow suit. Neil Young and Joni Mitchell’s decision to pull their music from Spotify after podcaster Joe Rogan spread Covid-19 misinformation on the platform has been largely met with support from fellow artists.
