Looks like Jason Aldean is expected to pull a Taylor Swift on Spotify. According to the Tennessean Jason’s current album Old Boots, New Dirt will be removed from the streaming service but all his previous albums will remain.
An executive from Jason’s label Broken Bow Music Group would not comment on the decision to pull Old Boots, New Dirt from Spotify. But he did have something to say about the conundrum facing record companies today, stating, “There is a premium for 'brand new' — movies, cars, clothes, everything else … Why we devalue music, I don't know. I understand five years down the road — potentially — there will be enough streaming revenue to balance it out. In the meantime, how much revenue are we giving away?"
Old Boots, New Dirt had the year’s best-ever debut week for a country album on Spotify with more than 3.04 million streams. The per-stream payout for a song streamed on Spotify is between six-thousandths ($0.0006) of a cent and eight-thousandths of a cent ($0.00084).
