But isn‘t Cozy Little Christmas in the Playlist?

You know, the song she exclusively released with Amazon 2 years ago, and rereleased 1 year ago on all streaming sites?

Why does every artist that releases exclusively on Amazon rereleases the same song one year later  Is it part of the contract or what?

some exclusivity clauses. using the material basically as promotion for the platform but also using the platform to your benefits by being shoved into people’s faces there and thus inflating exposure and giving the feel of exclusivity to the customers.

Definitely isn’t unique with Amazon too. Apple had 1 week exclusives when Apple Music got competitive. Beyoncé also did it with Tidal & Lemonade, releasing it on all streaming platforms over a year later, with a demo included as bonus track.
