After the initial decision to pull the Century Media catalog from Spotify, label execs were impressed by the resulting debate, especially the messages and comments by the thousands of fans who weighed in on the issue. Fan sentiment and continued discussions with Spotify have resulted in the label reversing its initial decision.

“We respect that music fans wanted to have instant access to our catalog via Spotify,” states President of North America Don Robertson. “But we also have to consider the rights of our artists. After practicing some due diligence, we’re moving ahead confident that both the artist and the fan are being fairly served by this developing platform.”

Steve Savoca, Head of Content at Spotify, adds: “Spotify‘s global growth provides a powerful platform for artists to connect directly with our hugely passionate audience. The return of Century Media‘s fantastic catalog is cranking metal music to our ears.”

    Ihan fiksua että palauttivat kataloginsa sinne. Kyllä siitä nuo yhtiön pienemmät bändit kuitenkin hyötyy ja saa nimeä kun jengi randomisti niitä kuuntelee :)
