Neil Young’s Radio Channel on SiriusXM Is Revived After Spotify Removal
After Spotify refused to cut Joe Rogan’s lucrative podcast, Sirius re-upped with Mr. Young; other streamers promote the folk-rocker

While he said he is losing out on 60% of his streaming income, the market is adjusting as other services take steps to capitalize on courting the folk-rock singer and his loyal listeners. The dustup drew supporters and detractors to social media voicing their views on Mr. Young and Spotify.

...

In another post on his website Wednesday, Mr. Young made a plug for other services, pointing to Amazon Music, Apple Music and Qobuz, which “present my music today in all its high-resolution glory—the way it is intended to be heard.”

Other streaming services this week promoted that they carried Mr. Young’s music.

Hi-fi streaming service Tidal, which Mr Young has championed for its sound quality, retweeted a fan’s observation: “Love that Neil Young is trending on Tidal” and then shared a meme welcoming fresh recruits.
