Adele may be the next superstar to keep her new album off Spotify
- 8 years ago
Spotify may have to change one of its core principles if it wants to stream Adele's new album.
In 2013, Spotify missed out on Beyoncé’s massive eponymous album, which was exclusive to iTunes.
In 2014, Taylor Swift batted the company around in the press, calling it "an experiment" as she kept the biggest album of the year, 1989, off the service.
Now Adele may be the latest to join their ranks, as she considers keeping her upcoming album 25 off Spotify, unless they meet her demands.
Adele and her team have been pushing Spotify to limit the release of her third album, 25, to paid subscribers only, which would shrink the availability of the album to around 20 million of the streaming service’s 75 million total users, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
