Update Fixed Songs From Popular Artists Are Actually Missing On Youtube
People were left flustered upon seeing this message. One user took it to X, expressing their frustration. YouTube’s official account replied to their post, addressing the license dispute. This went on throughout the day. They later provided an official statement to 9to5Google, further expanding upon the situation:
I tried playing songs from Adele and Nirvana and didn’t have any problems. So the issue could be limited to certain countries, though we cannot comment on which ones. However, given how YouTube has become a primary way for people to consume music these days. So the label should come to a licensing agreement pretty soon.
Things like this aren’t uncommon. Take a recent example of Universal removing their songs from TikTok when failing to reach a licensing agreement with the platform. So are you currently facing this issue on your end, still not able to listen to songs from your favorite European artists? Then let us know in the comments below.
