David Sneddon & Aaliyah are also now on Spotify. As well as Toca's Miracle (sort of).

This is why I still buy DVDs and treasure my iPod and 2000+ collection of downloaded/CD-ripped music! I get ridiculed for it sometimes as being stuck in the 2000s, but it's nice to know I can watch a film/listen to a song at any time without the fear of it being removed or my internet connection going down.

The Now albums on CD are a godsend for many of these, the equivalent playlists on Spotify are either missing songs or feature the wrong versions of others, either longer/shorter edits or completely different mixes.


I’m the same. It’s like owning it rather than renting it.

I can't find the version of Mr. Vain that I used to hear on Spotify. The song itself is on there and ive found a lot of different versions just not the one I heard in my childhood.

The one released in the UK is on there, it's called Original Radio Edit and is track 3 on the Mr Vain single on Spotify

Returns suggests it was available at some point before.

Star Trekkin by The Firm is an example of one that used to be available on Spotify but disappeared at some point.

This is my list of number ones missing from tidal, a few are on Apple or Spotify or both although I just discovered Helping Haiti- Everybody hurts isn’t on Apple

Number 1 singles-
1975- ,Telly Savalas- If, Billy Connolly- Divorce
1976- Slik- Forever And Ever
1982- Nicole- A little peace, Eddy Grant- I don't wanna dance
1986- Spitting Image- Chicken Song
1987- Ferry Aid- Let It Be, The Firm- star Trekkin
1989- Gerry Marsden and Friends- Ferry Cross The Mersey
1991- Hale And Pace- The Stonk
1993- Mr Blobby- Mr Blobby
1994- Man Utd- Come On You Reds
1995- Cher and Co- love can build a bridge
1996- Dunblane- Knockin on Heaven's Door
1997- Lou Reed and Friends- Perfect Day
1998- Various Artists- perfect day, spacedust- gym and tonic, chef- chocolate salty balls
1999- Eiffel 65- Blue (radio edit),
2000- Bob The Builder- Can We Fix It
2001- Bob The Builder- Mambo Number 5
2004- Sam and Mark- With A Little Help From My Friends
2005- Steve Brookstein- Against All Odds
2007- Leon Jackson- When you believe
2010- Shout 4 England- Shout
2011- X Factor- Wishing On A Star
2012- Justice Collective- he ain't heavy
2015- Lewishham and Greenwich NHS Choir- A Bridge Over You

Edit: Typically Tropical: Barbados isn’t on Spotify or Apple. Also several weeks ago Eddy Grant’s “I Don’t Wanna Dance” randomly showed up on Spotify but then vanished a couple of weeks later, the date on it was late February next year so they may have put it up too early by mistake

I think we can rule out any historic charity singles getting put on streaming platforms anytime soon. X Factor winners/runners up are equally unlikely.

I guess we are going back to the 90’s to find an eligible option.

Oh and if it’s the UK #1 on the day I was born by Spitting Image we will all rejoice. rotf.gif

Genuinely tried to stream this the other week while cooking, and I was confused as to why it wasn't on there! The Christmas Mr. Hankey album is there, but this and the South Park movie soundtrack aren't.

If you type a song and the word Spotify into Google, you can often find a link to the track if it has ever been on Spotify before. Using this method, I have found that the ones in bold have at some point been on Spotify previously, but currently aren't. The others have never been on there.

The Justice Collective tweeted a few years ago saying they had no idea why their song is no longer on Spotify, so I don't know if even some of the artists have much say regarding them being there or not.

You got a link? It's definitely something I'd like to keep track of, in case any of them appear again!
