Coldplay hold back A Head Full of Dreams album from Spotify

New release available on Apple Music and other subscription services as band makes stand against free on-demand streaming

Coldplay's new album A Head Full of Dreams is being withheld from music-streaming service Spotify, but made available on rivals including Apple Music.

However, this is not a decision to consciously uncouple from Spotify entirely, but rather a choice based on the company's refusal to restrict the album to its paying customers only.
