Ghost Stories on Spotify soon & new LA show announced
Over three months on since the first release of the new Coldplay album, Ghost Stories, Anchorman on www.coldplay.com has announced the plans for the emotional sixth LP to be made available across major music streaming platforms such as Spotify. It's available immediately to stream through Beats music as part of the exclusive agreement they have for the announced LA show in September which was revealed today.
Ghost Stories on Spotify
Mylo Xyloto, when released, was not available to stream until four months after release and Ghost Stories is following in it's footsteps. There were rumours of Coldplay's latest album not even making a later appearance with other high profile albums such as Beyonce's still not available to stream. At the time of the Ghost Stories release, Spotify were working to reach an agreement to bring Coldplay's new album to their service.
Why was this the case then? One reason could be the size of the royalties. Major artists/bands have criticized the streaming service for the amount they receive from having their work streamed. Holding back albums is another reason and it seems to be the promotion method for Coldplay's new album, where the record label concentrates on maximizing sales via iTunes and Amazon before allowing the streaming of the album. Adele's last album, 21 is also a prime example of this method.
Beats music, only available in the US, will be the sole streaming service until after the band's upcoming LA show, according to Coldplay.com
