As 2012 sets sail, this is the story Spotify must contend with.
Coldplay was the most visible band to bail on Spotify in 2011, and after six months, Mylo Xyloto remains unavailable on the service. Overall, Mylo Xyloto has sold 961,942 units in the US, or nearly platinum.
These figures are US-specific and cumulative, as counted by Nielsen Soundscan and shared with Digital Music News for the week ending December 26th. ‘Paid Downloads’ mostly happened on iTunes and Amazon MP3.
