Apparently, leaving Spotify wasn’t such a bad thing for Neil Young.
According to Bloomberg, more people are listening to Young’s music after he left the streaming platform.
“The interesting thing about Neil is that his consumption has gone up in the two weeks since he came off the service,” said Merck Mercuriadis, who owns 50% of Young’s catalog. “We’re at 38% up in streaming alone, and we’re hundreds of percentages up in terms of album sales and that.”
