Spiller groovejet is also on apple music now !
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.

Oh I have a list of alll the number ones missing from Spotify, Tidal and Apple etc. Star Trekkin vanished off streaming not to long ago so could that be the reissue I wonder

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

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. :rofl:

Ahh I just saw the Emoji on the Pop Activism post. It’s Chef

 

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.

Yeah I have a greyed out playlist on Spotify of the number ones which aren’t on there

Today I learned that “Chocolate Salty Balls" was almost the Christmas Number One in 1998…. :o

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