Skid Row self titled off Spotify ? Why

Post by gtrjay »

The debut with Solinger is no longer on Spotify. Anyone know why ? Ghost and One Light were on a playlist and gone now.

You would think in 2025 their audience is dwlinding and anything to keep a few and get some streams is better than whatever the reason is for pulling it.

The first three albums are controlled by WMG. Maybe they weren't getting enough streams from the Solinger Era stuff and it's not worth it.

In the US, it was self released. I assume whatever contract Spotify has with Skid Row's management just ran out, and they haven't gotten around to renewing it.

Would be curious to see if it's available in Europe, since it was Steamhammer/SPV there.

Does seem like it's a bit of a miss, though. Not like they're missing out on a lot of revenue from Spotify, but hell, that could at least buy a few Happy Meals.
