Coldplay won't make new album 'Mylo Xyloto' available on Spotify

Coldplay have maintained their position to keep their new album off online streaming services.

The band's current record Mylo Xyloto isn't available to listen to on Spotify or any other music streaming service.

The group have maintained that if fans want to listen to the material, they should download it from iTunes or Amazon or purchase the physical CD.

According to Mashable, Coldplay want to keep Mylo Xyloto as "one cohesive work".

However, fans have highlighted that tracks from the new set are available to individually download.

Meanwhile, sources have noted that an artist only receives three-tenths of a US cent for every song stream, whereas they earn 20 cents for every download.

They argued that denying Spotify subscribers access seems to pay as Adele's 21 is also not available and has become the biggest-selling album of the year.

Coldplay's label EMI has since stated: "We always work with our artists and management on a case-by-case basis to deliver the best outcome for each release."

Spotify has said it respects the band's decision to withhold their material from being streamed, but hoped to reach a deal with the group in the future.

A spokesperson explained: "We do however hope that they will change their minds as we believe that the Spotify model is adding, and will continue to add, huge value to the music industry.

"Right now we have already convinced millions of consumers to pay for music again, and… as we increase in scale, we will continue to re-educate millions of additional consumers as to the value of music, and we will thereby revitalise artists' ability to make music and make money from it."

Coldplay are currently on course to top the UK album chart and the US Billboard 200 with Mylo Xyloto.
