Prince’s Music Is Coming to Major Streaming Services for the Grammy Awards
Prince’s April 2016 death left questions remaining about his estate and exactly how his vast catalog of music would be handled. It appears those questions will be answered in time for Sunday’s airing of the 59th annual Grammy Awards, as a high-ranking official in Prince’s camp confirmed his catalog will be available on Spotify, Pandora and other streaming services.
Spotify confirmed their inclusion in the streaming services with access to Prince’s music in a BBC report Saturday, and Apple Music and Napster are also expected to carry the Prince catalog as well.
Additionally, Prince’s catalog is now available on iHeartRadio’s subscription services: iHeartRadio Plus and iHeartRadio All Access. Subscribers can instantly enjoy the iHeartPrince on demand playlist curated by our world class programmers. Fans of Prince can also check out the original “iHeartPrince” radio station without a subscription.
Prince’s catalog will also be spinning on Padora today, as the prominent streaming service will also make Prince’s music available to the over 9 million Pandora listeners have added a station in his name.
Late last week, Universal Music Group announced Prince’s estate chose the publishing giant to license Prince’s music through NPG Records. UMG confirmed the collection includes double platinum and gold-certified albums Emancipation, Musicology, and 3121.
