UPDATE:
Apparently, the reports earlier that Barry Manilow had pulled his songs from Spotify was fake news:
Barry Manilow DID NOT pull his songs from Spotify
The singer tweeted to clear things up:
I recently heard a rumor about me and Spotify. I don’t know where it started, but it didn’t start with me or anyone who represents me.

ORIGINAL POST:
When Neil Young threatened to take his business elsewhere if Spotify didn’t drop Joe Rogan like a hot potato, we were nervous. What would even be the point of Spotify without Young’s oeuvre?
Well, Neil Young has left Spotify, and we’re still here, surviving, somehow.
But we may not survive for long. Not after losing … Barry Manilow?

It’s true.
It seems Barry Manilow has joined Neil Young and Deleted Spotify over continuing to host Joe Rogan's content. What do y'all think and who might be next?

Peter Frampton, actually:
Good for you Neil.
I’ve always been an Apple guy for streaming. No Joe Rogan for me thank you! @neilyoung @SpotifyUSA— Peter Frampton (@peterframpton) January 28, 2022
It’s rough out there for the Boomers. And Fanilows have an important decision to make.
I believe Barry Manilow just told Spotify that, in fact, he can smile without them

Barry Manilow writes the songs that you’ll no longer be able to find on Spotify.

OK, we’re not serious. But it’s funny as hell that there are people out there who are taking this very seriously and are proud to follow Barry Manilow to the ends of the earth over this.
Barry Manilow " I Write the Songs "
Spotify " I Delete Them " 😂🤣

That just about sums it up.
Worth noting:
Something big is coming! 🤫
Tune in next Monday, January 31st to find out what. Get ready to party! 🎉 #barrymanilow #party #secret #music #love pic.twitter.com/J52BvDDhbS— Barry Manilow (@barrymanilow) January 26, 2022
Huh.

We’re sure Barry would never do something like that.
