Also noticed some playlist transfer apps surging up the charts. I think anger with Spotify is real. Skeptical it will lead to notable loss of market share, especially in the US
My experience is that when you ‘take your music down’ from Spotify, it can take a minimum of 30 days and in many cases well over that. While that seems odd in a digital environment, most artists are not dealing directly with Spotify, rather they release music through their labels and distributors who then it into the streamers and I guess the reverse is true on the way out.
Interesting take on the Qobuz spike! I've been notcing more people in my circle getting frustrated with Spotify's interface clutter too. The whole Massive Attack situation is pretty telling about how little control artists actully have over their own catalogs, even when they want to make a statement. It's kind of ironic that a platform built on music democratization ends up giving artists less power than they think they have. The fact that their music is stil up after six weeks really does raise questions about who's calling the shots here.
