When is mylo xyloto coming out on spotify

After selling over a million copies of last year's Mylo Xyloto , Coldplay have relented and handed their latest release over to Spotify. The band allowed iTunes to stream tracks from their fifth record to promote its October LP, but there was no sign of the album on any streaming sites — until this week.

The band released their latest Mylo video for "Charlie Brown" on Friday. Coldplay didn't explain their decision to avoid streaming sites, but a rep from their label issued a statement to CNET in October reading , "We always work with our artists and management on a case by case basis to deliver the best outcome for each release.

The Black Keys were more clear about their decision to keep their disc El Camino off streaming services. In an interview with VH1, the band said it's unfair both to artists receiving meager royalties and fans who shelled out cash for the album. They're not alone. The tracks are only only available on Microsoft's Zune network , and on iTunes , where Coldplay streamed one song a day last week. According to an unnamed industry source, Coldplay want Mylo Xyloto to be heard as "one cohesive work" and not split up into songs.

This could be the rationale for Arcade Fire and Pink Floyd , whose work is absent from Spotify, or for Tom Waits , whose latest album will not be made available on the service. But if Coldplay care so much about "the album", it's odd their songs are available on iTunes as individual downloads. More likely, Coldplay are mimicking the sales strategy of Adele. Mylo Xyloto is available to stream for both free and premium Spotify users, too.

Spotify has been at the centre of a fierce music industry debate about the value of streaming services, and whether they cannibalise download sales. In recent weeks, it has received public statements of support from Universal Music Group , Sony Music and Warner Music Group who all have a stake in the service, of course.

So the finally decided to give in? If so, how come they were available to purchase individually from Itunes? Greedy idiots. Music Ally Ltd. Services Learn Events Insight Audience.
