Why Does Spotify Delete Singles From Artists Discographies?

[sillynate 6,170]

Perfect Illusion, Million Reasons, A-YO, Praying, Woman, Learn To Let Go, Hymn, Medellin, I Rise, Crave, Future & many more that I can’t think of.... all of them (as singles) are gone from their respective artists discographies on Spotify... why?

A-YO

Who's gonna tell ha

[Enzo 37,977]

because the albums are out and those songs are on them (?

so it's more organized that way (?

They don't remove them, an artist can elect to hide them from their pages (to spur album plays, which shuffle play to more songs on said album)

Shame on all of them for hiding such awesome single covers

I think it’s really difficult to tell because some say singles are on the albums and can stand in the album instead but also for example, there are exceptions, Ddu Du Ddu Du is a single (Japanese version) but it is also in the album “BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREA”...

If a digital single only features that one title song, and doesn't have extra tracks in it, it is redundant  to keep it when it is also included in an album.

Too bad tho, i love to listen to Bad Romance and You and I for example with their own single covers

I prefer to have singles artwork in my music library too but I can see why they are doing it.. to keep the site more clean and tidy.

But when I play them it’s still the album cover

Probably to simplify the stream counting.

I think they add the plays to the album version (hence why a lot of albums debut at #1 from massive singles beforehand) and remove the single version so that free users have to shuffle the whole album to hear it and encourage streams for non singles? Perhaps idk
