Neil Young's music from its streaming platform, because the 76-year-old rock icon objected to the company's response to vaccine misinformation.70% of the musicMany of the big new releases of 2021 were dropped because tour dates got COVID-canceled, Matt Yazge, vice president of research business for MRC Data, tells Axios.
61% of U.S. music listeners say that they are interested in discovering new or emerging music artists, Yazge says.partly because more boomers and Gen Xers are using streaming services. But a big driver of this trend is TikTok.A lot of the investment money flowing into the music industry right now is coming from big catalog deals where older artists sell the rights to their classic songs.
😂 yea ok
How much is older than 40 years?
He got kicked off after his ultimatum
Lol, no it doesn't matter. You can't just will it into existence to make dinosaur music relevant to today's conversation. These people already made their money. This means literally nothing.
If Neil Young's music was a person, it would be collecting a pension from SSA.
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Now do the percentages for music over 18 years old
That’s a bad statistic. I would imagine that music that is older than 18 months makes up more than 70% of all music.
Expose them all
Nailed it
What a weird and desperate argument but thanks for playing😂😂😂Newsflash: Free speech will always be more important than some 'old music'.
Working that spin cycle hard
No one cares
I demand that Paul Revere and the Raiders take a stand on Spotify. It’s either Joe Rogan or western civilization! Pick a side!
Music older than 18 months is “old” music? I guess, if you’re talking about the disposable generic garbage that passes for mainstream music these days.
Wtf is this statistic? This is infuriatingly stupid. That's like comparing how many people rented from Blockbuster in 2000 and 2022.
Old news
Drake, Drake, Drake, Beber, Beber, Beber, Weekend, Weekend, Weekend
here's an archive so you don't give them any ad rev for this cope
And I nixed my Spotify account. Buh bye Spots.
I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I got nothing.
Yall are really reaching with that statistic so you can paint a narrative huh?
Holy fuck 😭😂😭😂
That... Isn't why it matters.
I listen to 60s, 70s and 80s.
Loooooooooool stop it rn😂
Spotify is prioritizing money over science & people's health. Vaccine disinformation should be banished from social member and all news outlets.
Some journalism 101 questions to add to this nothingburger 'article' 1) How many songs were released in the past 18 months 2) How many songs released from the beginning of recorded music up until 18 months ago? 3) What percent of all recorded music was written by Neil Young?
It doesn’t matter.
Plus, 70%, likely more, of ALL music is older than 18 mos. Do you guys understand math/statistics? Or, are you just writing shit?
But Neil Young is just one artist, and obviously not one of the top artists. So, it doesn't really matter.
teamNeil 💯
dude had 6mil listeners TOPS on hippy playlists. joe rogan has 11mil dedicated listeners that tune in for HIS content. neil young is a delusional gramps in a sea of boomers
yeah but its really about total listen time. How many total minutes of Neil Young music people listen to a day/month/year? The same question about Joe Rogan? That's the time decision Spotify have to make.
Axios on here trying to convince seems desperate.
But of the old music, how many listen to Neil Young? Not a big fan! Him or Spotify!
Censorship is cool
Who cares? Tons more music available. No more bullies.
99.?% of music on Spotify has been around for more than 18 months.
Lol. It doesn’t matter
Now even WHO is in on it. ( Not the band) Spotify shut down their site so many left. 'Rockin In The Free World' Neil Young, Peter Frampton, David Crosby, Barry Manilow, Sebastion Bach, etc. ByeSpotify CancelSpotify
What percentage of the music on spotify is older than 18 months? Seems an important criteria. If it's more than 90% (which I bet it is) then your stat has the opposite impact you think it does
Spotify will continue to make money and get subscribers with or without this out of touch dinosaur
Lol
his music will be popular long after Joe Rogan is forgotten.
Censuring free speech is not what our country was built on - regardless of the quality of the speech. Trying to black mail a company to do it doesn’t exactly make you look like a winner. So long Neil ..
Damn. I guess I’ll read a book now.
Lmao typing the words “older than 18 months” when the artist is from the 60s is hilarious. Tell me you afterwords too how you don’t have an agenda Truth is that Spotify won’t even notice
Hmmm. 18 *months* is used to define 'old music' in an article about someone whose primary career started 50+ years ago. That's what you're going with, ?
I wonder how many artists will follow in Neil's footsteps? I hope a lot
He is overrated.
Arriadna For sure but some are selling off their catalogs.
I’m with Neil
Ha ha. 18months is so old 😂
Bye Karen. . .
Still, a bit more context:
His music was pulled. He didn’t pull it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How much of the streamed music is older than 50 years?
Yeah, but Neil’s limited overall catalog isn’t going to put a dent in Spotify. Taylor Swift has thirty million Spotify streams a week. She’s the one that needs to set the tone. Thanks, Neil, great job. You too, Manilow. Their music is consumed primarily by seniors.
18 months! Wow! 🙄
All I listen to is 70s and 80s music. It is the best of all time.
Neil has morals
Greed wins. LetsGoDarwin to the RogHeads
