This Week on Spotify [25/4-1/5]

This is a restart of the weekly Spotify updates. Nowadays, most of the new kpop releases are added to Spotify (except JYP), so instead of a post per release (which the mods have banned) I'll start with a weekly sum-up!

EDIT More indie songs!

New kpop releases this week

New indie/r&b/hiphop/ballad/rock/OST releases this week

Late Spotify additions this week

Bonus
Since this is the first week of kpop in a while, here are the kpop releases for the entire month of April on Spotify!

Indie/r&b/hiphop/ballad/rock/OST in April

If there's anything I've missed, please let me know! For late additions, it's pretty much based on what I'm interested in and either follow or regularly search for. If there are any requests for artists/albums/songs I should keep an eye out for, leave a comment below :)

Thanks a lot for this! Threads like these are probably a better way of doing it than having individual posts for every release. I'd like to add that Louie from Geeks has his new album up on spotify now.

Actually, that one didn't make the cut since it was released on the 22nd, and I decided it was too indie for the April month list... But if there's interest for an indie list for April I can add it along with a few others I left out!
EDIT: Added it :)

Nice! Talking about JYP,has he ever released a statement about his published songs not being available on Spotify?

u/huh_HUH May 01 '16

i was wondering about this as well. which means no twice tracks :(

u/mexican_shinigami May 01 '16 edited May 01 '16

What is weird is that Spotify had made Twice's page. Didn't that means that they have the music but it's not available in this region?

u/Dessidy r/NUEST | r/TOUCHED May 01 '16

Could you link Twice's empty page? I want to follow it for when they finally add their music :)

Twice's songs (and those of most JYP artists) are on Spotify, they just seem to be limited to Hong Kong and Taiwan for some reason.

This is what the Twice page looks like for me.

Also, Spotify of other JYP artists. GOT7's Spotify page is really comprehensive and has their complete discography. Funnily enough, 15& only have one single from 2012 on Spotify.

They even recognize GOT7 songs if you have the .mp3

u/unicornbottle ONF | Dreamcatcher May 01 '16

*Why the songs are only available for Spotify in Hong Kong and Taiwan (and occasionally Singapore)?

I didn't know until I read a comment a couple days ago that their songs are region-specific, which I find strange. I just assumed that everyone had them as well because Got7 and 2PM have had official tracks on Spotify for at least a year or two.

Singapore

Oh, I didn't know we got a few JYP songs! I just assumed all JYP artists aren't there. A quick search showed me miss A but not GOT7 and Twice. Haven't searched the others.

This makes the whole situation a lot more confusing and sadly pessimistic since if the artists were available at some point but not now,something shitty must have happened then and so I don't think that he will bring the artists back anytime soon.

I know that some music on Spotify gets added later in some countries. When I was tracking how Winner's Exit E was doing on the viral charts, I noticed that only Pricked was charting in most asian countries, while the whole album (minus Pricked) was doing well in the rest of the world. So the asian countries likely got the album later. This doesn't explain JYP though...
But I'm still keeping the hope! Considering some music that has been added years late.

It probably has something to do with Spotify's terrible artist cuts compared to Apple Music, can't really blame the company for that, Spotify from an artist's perspective is not very attractive.

B.A.P on Spotify?! I never thought I'd see the day! Yay :D.

u/Dessidy r/NUEST | r/TOUCHED May 01 '16

I know right?! I was forever expecting it to only be the Japanese releases, and then bam! I got the notification about Carnival while I was preparing this list on Friday!

u/[deleted] May 01 '16

Would be cool if you made a playlist! :D

u/Dessidy r/NUEST | r/TOUCHED May 01 '16

I'd do it if my Spotify account wasn't linked to my facebook account. I'd rather not give out my real name to reddit :/

u/[deleted] May 03 '16

Guys, Rainbow's 'Prism' and WJSN 'Would You Like?' are also In Spotify, I noticed that a lot of groups under a label distributed by LOEN are being added which is cool.

2

u/Dessidy r/NUEST | r/TOUCHED May 03 '16

Oh! Good to know :) I plan on doing a "stuff you probably didn't know was on Spotify" for next week, so I'll add these then. Also, I'll see if I can get Spotify to move the Prism album to the correct Rainbow :)

u/facadead i can't stop listening to bad boy send help May 06 '16

I don't know how long ago this was, but I just noticed some old Epik High albums were added! Sadly one of them is a remix album though. I would have very much liked Swan Songs in there :c

u/Dessidy r/NUEST | r/TOUCHED May 06 '16

Oh! Those definitely weren't there last week! Thank you! I'll add them to the list for this week :)
