After a two-year standoff with Spotify over concerns regarding alleged misinformation on the platform, Neil Young has announced that his music will be returning to the streaming service.
The decision marks the end of a prolonged boycott initiated by Young in early 2022 over Spotify's exclusive deal to stream comedian Joe Rogan's widely popular podcast,"The Joe Rogan Experience," which Young accused of spreading"fake information" about vaccines and the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, the Canadian-American musician demanded that Spotify either take steps to fact-check the podcast or he would pull his entire music catalog from the platform.
"I cannot just leave Apple and Amazon, like I did Spotify, because my music would have very little streaming outlet to music lovers at all," Young said."So I have returned to Spotify." The"Heart of Gold" and"Harvest Moon" singer also took several digs at Spotify in his statement, referring to the platform as the"#1 streamer of low res music in the world." He urged Spotify to offer its listeners a high-resolution tier so that the platform can"Really be #1 in all ways."Trending stories at Scrippsnews.com
