December 1, 20231 yr It is indeed Chef who has returned to streaming :magic: #ChocolateSaltyBallsStreamingParty
December 1, 20231 yr Here’s my playlist updated every week - if I have made any mistakes let me know, and feel free to follow https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4E617W1AG...=e-kx15-YdKSt6y
April 17, 20241 yr A fascinating topic I've only just caught up with, and one which underlines why I've never quite embraced streaming in the way I'd have perhaps liked - i.e. because there'd eventually always be annoying gaps that may never get filled, regardless of the genre, era or other basis on which one might compile playlists. I compiled best-selling singles Top 100s for the 2010s, 2000s, 1990s and 1980s, and managed to fill most positions for each decade, but there were some obvious missing hits and yes, mostly from the charity world, which I suppose one can understand. It's the regular songs that are missing that are oddities - or worse-still those which apparently have featured on Spotify but no longer do, for no obvious reason. Perhaps even more disappointing is thinking you've found what you need for a playlist, only to find it's the wrong version (so not the standard 7" mix usually played by radio/TV). I find my local pub jukebox does this and we all need to be very careful if using it to try and triple-check that the version you're picking isn't some 12" mix, album version, live version, remix or rerecording - even with the greatest care one can still get it wrong and waste 15p! No idea what the new streaming arrival is but however awful some of these songs are, they should nevertheless be accessible, to satisfy things like 'greatest hits' playlists, and to ensure the format is considered credible and inclusive of almost all well-known songs ever recorded.

April 18, 20241 yr Is it definitely a missing song being added this time and not just a radio edit I wonder, as there are plenty of the latter missing. The Way To Your Love and Stop Living The Lie spring to mind, but there are loads of others. My money would be on something like Sam & Mark too though if it's a genuinely missing song. I can't see Perfect Day (presuming there are several BBC/artist licensing issues) or Gym & Tonic ever getting on there (the original Gym Tonic by Bob Sinclar that couldn't be released back in the day is on Spotify though). Mr Blobby? Bob The Builder?
April 18, 20241 yr I actually genuinely want the Chicken Song on there. It's great fun. (well I want all of them however crap on there for completeness really, but Chicken Song first plz x)
April 18, 20241 yr Author Quick question, and I don’t know when I last checked, but how long has the radio edit of Ebeneezer Goode been removed from Spotify? There is an extended Beatmasters Mix there, but I was a little surprised not to see the radio edit (despite knowing its subliminal messages contained within).

When did this disappear and why? I swear I listened to it on Spotify not so long ago. Relegation for the Chicken Song. Give us back the original radio edit of Ebeneezer Goode instantly.
April 18, 20241 yr This is what I really dislike about streaming! Out of interest, is the radio edit of 'Ebeneezer Goode' available on other streaming platforms, is it just Spotify it's disappeared from?
April 25, 20241 yr https://music.apple.com/nz/album/walk-this-...loud/1739703752 Not sure if this is the missing song as it's available on streaming through compilation albums, but Sugababes vs. Girls Aloud - 'Walk This Way' is getting an official streaming release tomorrow.
April 25, 20241 yr They removed the 'New Vocal' version of Kate Bush's 'Wuthering Heights' from Spotify. OK that wasn't the version that made no.1 in 1978 but very familiar/first heard version for many as it was this but not the original featured on her over million selling compilation 'Whole Story'.
