Posted April 26Apr 26 See this as a sister thread to 'UK #1 Singles Missing from Streaming Platforms'. There's not that much left to be honest thanks to the great work of people like Pop Music Activism etc, but there are still various things I wish I could stream but can't, not just #1's but tracks like Lucid's I Can't Help Myself, Bizarre Inc's I'm Gonna Get You and Wind It Up by the Prodigy, which disappeared completely a while ago, presumably due to a sample. I would also like to see the remaining Manics b-sides added and I heard some Beautiful South b-sides are great but it just seems to be their albums and compilations on there. Also Muse did a great cover of Popcorn you can't get on Spotify. Also missing Love Rollercoaster by Red Hot Chili Peppers and ironically the UK single mix of Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey) by De La Soul, ironic because that WAS on there before they added the rest of their early stuff following various legal battles. All the other versions of that are sh!t and wrong. Guessing we'll never have the right version of Toca's Miracle by Fragma (yes i know it got to #1) or 2 People by Jean Jacques Smoothie for contractual reasons.Also the single edit of Playing With Knives wouldn't go amiss, absolutely euphoric but don't need seven minutes of it every time - see also various Underworld singles. And where's Fat Neck by Black Grape in its original form? Plus the Fluke Minimix of Spooky by New Order - the original version is incorrectly tagged as this but it's just the one from the album. Would also like Blur's 2010 one-off limited edition single Fool's Day. Gotta say my 'Not On Spotify' playlist is tiny now compared to what it was like 5-10 years ago, so that's good. So, is there anything left you're dying to stream legally but are still unable to? Edited April 26Apr 26 by HiyaLuv!
April 26Apr 26 I know why it can't be added but I'm very annoyed we can't listen to the original Toca's Miracle on streaming. Recently removed Happiness by Alexis Jordan would be good to have back. Would also agree with the Chili Peppers' Love Rollercoaster! Edited April 26Apr 26 by gasman449
April 26Apr 26 It’s a disgrace that Zoe Birkett’s Treat Me Like a Lady isn’t available to stream, what a banger.
April 26Apr 26 Wow seeing that V Birds cassette unlocked a memory Edited April 26Apr 26 by lewistgreen
April 26Apr 26 Sticking to stuff that's charted here, these are a few gaps for me:The Vamps feat. Shawn Mendes - Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart) - this was absent for a while, with the Shawn version just playing the album version, then it came back and now it's entirely vanished again. The album version remains though xElyar Fox - Do It All Over Again and A Billion GirlsMark Owen - the single versions/radio edits of all of his charting singles are missing, most notably for I Am What I Am which was significantly reworked for its single mixLiz McClarnon - Woman in Love / I Get the Sweetest Feeling - randomly remixes of the former are available but the main version is greyed out, and there's no version of the latter availableLucie Silvas - Don't Look Back (radio version)And I'll second Daisy Dares You xThere's also various deeper cuts missing for artists I love. Girls Aloud have a select few songs that are still missing, while Rachel Stevens doesn't have the re-issue of Funky Dory nor the b-side to I Said Never Again, for example. Cher Lloyd's Oath never came out on UK Spotify either!
April 26Apr 26 In terms of top 10 hits:Jason Nevins ft Holly James - I'm In HeavenIan van Dahl Will I, and Reason
April 27Apr 27 For my playlists I'd love:Bellefire - All I Want Is YouChristina Aguilera and Missy Elliott - Car WashElement Four - Big Brother UK Theme (the recent revamp is on there)Friday Hill - Baby GoodbyeJason Downs feat Milk - White Boy With A FeatherLadies First - I Can't WaitMousse T vs The Dandy Warhols - Horny As A DandyMylo vs Miami Sound Machine - Doctor PressureSavage Garden - I Want You '98Tanel Padar & Dave Benton - Everybody (2001 Eurovision winner)No.1 singles missing include Baz Luhrman's Sunscreen (not whatever awful vocal version they replaced it with), Various Artists' Perfect Day, Mr Blobby, Justice Collective etc...Also there are loads of UK radio edits/hit versions of stuff missing that has other versions available. Off the top of my head, Angel City - Love Me Right, Coolio - C U When U Get There, The Corrs - Give Me A Reason, Delta Goodrem - Throw It Away (a radio edit by True North aka Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy was made but the single was cancelled), Hear'say - The Way To Your Love, Karen Ramirez - Looking For Love (the version on Spotify sounds like a demo vocal), Kele Le Roc - Little Bit Of Lovin' (this was pitched up for the single release), Love Inc - Broken Bones, Modjo - Chilln', Robbie Williams - Let Me Entertain You...there are loads of others.
April 27Apr 27 Two songs that made my SOY lists back in the daySoldier Girl - Polyphonic Spree - the original single version (the best version)I’m Leaving - Lodger
April 27Apr 27 Oh I've just noticed that the radio edit of ATFC / One Phat Deeva - 'In and out of My Life' is now greyed out on Spotify
