Better Day 5,766 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 The more into the streaming era we goes on I realise that artists are not fully taking advantage of the streaming era. They are a number of artists that are withholding songs/albums from streaming platform which can be detrimental because take Cher for example - a lot of her 70s/80s albums are not on the platform which may mean people may go looking for illegal downloads. Bonus tracks is also a problem because they are loads of b-sides/bonus tracks that haven’t appeared on any streaming service. Artists should be putting their whole past discography including bonus tracks and b-sides onto the services. They are not logical reason why bonus tracks/albums should not be on the streaming services. Together You And I! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most bonus tracks are exclusives with Target or Japanese markets because they sign deals with them, they can't just decide to put them on streaming or it would breach the deal. That's why Love Me Right isn't on Spotify. chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand new tracks but they are tracks that are 10/20 years old that has never appeared on streaming services which doesn’t make sense Together You And I!

This is true but when it comes to old albums I doubt Target still sells them all, they could profit more from it imo if they let artists put them on streaming services and get some royalties from it. + in some cases, some of those bonus/japaneses tracks are actually on Spotify.

It’s all about adapting. Streaming has been the main source of consuming music for the best part of 6 years. They have had time to adapt. Take COVID for example, a lot of companies have adapted their product range, and marketing strategies to appeal the people sitting at home. It’s all about adapting. Record labels are known for letting down artists and not adapting to the times. Together You And I! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
