Spotify says it has agreed to remove Neil Young's music after the famed singer-songwriter said he wouldn't share the platform with podcaster Joe Rogan.
A Spotify spokesperson said in an emailed statement that the company agreed to remove Young's work, though it was still accessible to users Wednesday afternoon. Spotify said it regrets Young's decision but hopes"to welcome him back soon."
"We want all the world’s music and audio content to be available to Spotify users," the streaming service said."With that comes great responsibility in balancing both safety for listeners and freedom for creators. We have detailed content policies in place and we’ve removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic."
The “Heart of Gold” singer's catalog spans more than five decades, from his 1969 self-titled album to his most recent record, 2021's"Barn." A representative for Young did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Young called out"The Joe Rogan Experience" in his letter and the danger of Spotify enabling the distribution of potentially fatal misinformation.
“With an estimated 11 million listeners per episode, JRE, which is hosted exclusively on Spotify ... has tremendous influence,” Young said. “Spotify has a responsibility to mitigate the spread of misinformation on its platform.”
