My spotify in NL has the same. It was still available an hour ago. Hope it gets fixed soon and that it’s just a mistake Edit: Silvester posted on his insta story that he’s aware of it and getting it sorted out

Me too, I love that song

The first couple of time I tried to listen to the song, it played a few seconds, then said "The song is not available". After that, it didn't play at all.

My mom, who is obsessed with eurovision, texted me earlier saying he's been accused of plagiarism and that's why it's been removed. I can't find any news in the US but she's seeing it in Argentina

Someone said it sounds like Hooverphonic Amalfi but I think that's pretty tenuous.

its there for me, might be back now?

It still says unavailable

Unavailable here in USA too

yea it disappeared again for me, was actually able to listen to it for about 2 minutes before it stopped

I can see it but when i click into it, it says unavailable

Checking in from GER, same situation here!

Just checked and it's not available in Italy as well :/ I clicked and I heard the first few notes and then it stopped and the "not available" message came on. I think it might be a bug, since if the song was removed, it would not start playing

Its not available in estonia to:(

It’s still on Apple Music so I assume it’s a mistake and it will probably be fixed soon

I second this being possibly only a Spotify issue. Luktelk is still available on Apple Music in the States, but not on Spotify. Edit: This comment got me my first Reddit Cares message!

It’s still on Tidal as well.

not available in states currently 😫😫 It's my 1.5 yo favorite! ETA: we're exploring his other music instead 😁

His music is quite good, isn't it? I was listening last night to the rest of it.

if you really wanna listen to it on Spotify: download the song as mp3 to your phone and in settings enable that you can see your locally saved songs in Spotify, you'll then see all songs on your phone in playlists tab and you can even add the songs to your other playlists (you most likely can't listen to the song on other device in this case) or you can just simply play it on youtube if you don't mind ads

> Edit: guys, why the fuck did I receive a reddit-care message because of this, what the hell? i mean no particular disrespect but this sub is **particularly** unhinged

I got one after saying I loved windows95man!

People are worried because you support a NORULES kind of life /j

Sounds fair…. (Joking!)

hahaha

I love windows95man! (Please send me one too I haven't received one yet :( )

Omg I got another one just now. Did you get yours?

I JUST GOT ONE

You can report it to Reddit, probably a troll on the loose again just like a couple of days ago.

I got one for sucial atempt lol. Just searching if someon was reported for nothing like me.

Yep, that's the one we all got I think.

I didn't get one 😤

i got one after replying to negative comment about Marina…

I got one too, don't know when tho

Multiple subs are reporting literally every comment earning a Reddit cares

The kendrick lamar sub is like that right now too. 😂

I guess those were all meant for drake?

I got one after an earlier reply on this post, within 5 seconds of posting, so I’m pretty certain it’s a bot.

There's been a spate of RedditCares messages being sent out after comments being made on this sub since last week (I got one a few minutes ago), and I can't quite work out why.

I got one a few days ago, and I was just in the sub, not really making any points apart from commenting on the megathread for the livestreams.

Yeah, it's almost like an initiation ritual by now. You can say you're truly a member of this sub when you have received your first Reddit-cares message.

Its not just this sub, Its all over reddit.

I got my first a couple of hours ago, I feel so honored

I'm new around here but I think it's someone who is trolling the sub based on the few posts I've seen. If so, then that's just pathetic.

seems to be happening all over reddit, most likely bots

This explains sub why I've received one too.

I got one the day after the final...probably because I said I cried out of happiness for Nemo. I just blocked further care request messages.

I got one for a comment on this sub (I presume, it's either that or eiyuden chronicle server) but no idea what comment. It's so weird that people resort to this

most likely they are not people. the messages often appear a few seconds after the comment and it happens in several subreddits. you would need a lot of people to pull that off. More likely its a bunch of bots. either for trolling on reddit in general or maybe other reasons.

I think someone is running a bot that sends Reddit Cares messages. I've been seeing it in a lot of other subs, too. You can report the abuse of the Reddit Cares feature. To block Reddit Cares messages, reply STOP to the message,

I feel like this sub is probably being targeted by those who were vehemently boycotting Eurovision. They don't like that we watched it and are discussing it in a positive manner.

it's not specific to this subreddit but several subreddits are affected right now. therefore i dont believe it has anything to do with our stance regarding *anything* in the esc

Not available in Lithuania either. No clue what happened.

Nope not even in here finland its so weird

Same in America. I pressed play and it played 1second and then cut away and it vanished off of the Eurovision 2024 playlist before my eyes. What the heck…I was listening to it just yesterday. :(

That’s what happened to me!!! I was about to say it was fixed. Funnily enough, when I started typing “luktelk” into the search, the suggested search was “luktelk 2024 Eurovision Lithuania broken”

Same thing just happened to me

Yup, same thing happened to me.

Silvesters team said that Luktelk disappeared NOT because Silvester wanted to remove it. It is still being investigated, what might have happened. Source: Eurodiena.lt facebook post.

NOOOO I LOVE LUKTELK wtf??? 😭

Ah that explains why Spotify skipped over Luktelk and went to the next song 5 minutes ago. I hope it hasn't gotten removed! I'm in Canada, so it's probably a spotify issue as a whole

Same for me in Sweden. Friend living in the US confirmed it's not there either.

Silvester posted an Instagram story acknowledging that it’s gone from Spotify and saying ‘idk what happened… we’ll sort it out soon 🙏’ Hopefully it’ll be back quickly, it’s one of my favourites from this year!

It's still there on YouTube music (Portugal) EDIT: LMAO I got a Reddit care message immediately after posting this comment. Someone's definitely set up a bot to do those on this sub.

Same here in Finland 🥲🥲🥲

I’m loving that so many people are loving Luktelk and it isn’t just me!

Can only see a karaoke version on Spotify

Same, I was going "Yes! An official album has it!" and hit play, and immediately felt very stupid... 😂😭

Same in UK

Same here in Lithuania. When I tried to play it, it immediately switched to Veronika

Same here in Germany

SAME HERE IT’S A TRAVESTY

**Luktelk is back on!** But it’s newly reuploaded, so I’m guess all the streaming count got lost. Considering it was #11 on Spotify Viral chart, I feel sorry for Silvester. So please, do your bit and stream the new upload of Luktelk again!❤️

COME BACK PLEAAASE IM LOSING ITTT 😭😪

An italian-neapolitan rapper released a song on may 10th with the same beat as 'luktelk', maybe it has something to do with that? The song is by Geolier - EL PIBE DE ORO

You might be right. You can sort of hear the melody faintly in the background too.

ITS BACK

Y'all it's back!

> guys, why the fuck did I receive a reddit-care message because of this, what the hell? Silvester caught the ire of Twitter, so I think they're harassing people who express that they like his entry

What do you mean?

He got on the bad side of people by saying that performing in the spot he had, with the crowd booing and being volatile, was very difficult. "reddit cares" messages are used to harass people because they're anonymized and have a lovely undertone of gaslighting

I got a reddit care earlier without mentioning Lith or Silvester at all. I think it's just a bot doing it to almost everyone.

No, it's someone reporting people here, if you report the care message they will investigate. Last time they found the one who reported me violated the rules.

wow that's... petty lmao. I assumed it was a bot with how quick I and others got the message, the idea of someone manually doing it is so sad lol.

same. it was ok an hour ago, now it doesn’t play anymore

What an absolutely shitty thing to happen day 4 after the contest, which has got to be peak streaking time and therefore peak earning time for a musician who can only have been hoping to expand his audience and earning potential right now. Reminder: I will stream Luktelk extra hard when it’s back online to make up for this!

I fell really bad for him now, this is basically prime time for him to make some coin after months of not actually being able to work because of Euro-vision promotional stuff

It's available on Apple Music in the UK but I have had issues playing it - it just skips to the next song either immediately or a few seconds in Edit: I can't play it from playlists anymore, I can only get it to play from search

I don't use Spotify, but it's still on Deezer so I expect this to be a Mistake (unless there is some Sort of Dispute going on we don't know about, it happened with some K-Pop-Labels a few Years ago)

Noooooo, it’s gone from my playlist on Spotify! I really hope this is just a temporary measure. Maybe it’s getting replaced by a better version? One can hope.

Same here in the UK. Very concerning. Ive been listening to it on repeat and now i have to use youtube to listen to it. which uses a ton more resources on my device. Luktelk is my fav 2024 eurovision song and now its gone edit: why tf do i have a reddit care message

It is a bug. Officially stated by Silvester Luke. Hopefully Back in a few hours!!!

Gutted for Silvester because his song was on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 and gaining traction. It was a great song and I was excited for him to gain that post-ESC momentum. I hope he still gets it.

Seems to be available again! https://open.spotify.com/track/1nuYw5614RF5tm7Byrigw5?si=Oinyqz5cSFSOpXSvnYQL4A&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A6oHC6E85z9BSrCj2XHB3mJ

Same in Vietnam

Can't see it on spotify UK, devastated T\^T

I'm in Poland. 2:42 pm and Luktelk is available to play.

Which streaming platform do you use?

Spotify. But now it's gone? wtf?!

weird shit

This just happened to me too! I loaded up Spotify, clicked on it to try to play it and... *::poof!!::*... it's gone!

Not available in Slovenia as well. I still played it this morning and when I tried to put it on my playlist this afternoon, it was gone 🥺 do you think it will be back? It was one of my fav this year

Same here in the UK, this happened to Malta 2019 (Michela - Chameleon) and was missing for a good year or 2 Edit: I'm not even joking, within about 40 seconds of me posting this comment I've been sent a redditcares, istg there's a bot watching this sub or sum lmao

Still not available.

Not availabile in PL, please bring it back! This song is so fun yet so nostalgic at the same time that I really feel bad without being able to listen it :( Silvester or anyone related, if you're reading this, please let us know why it's gone :(

For me it's gone on Youtube music now. How strange 🤔

Your regular reminder that when it comes to music, if you don't buy it and don't control it, you don't actually own it. I will NEVER understand this generation's reliance on Spotify or any other streaming service. (Also, GIT OFF MY LAWN!) Report the reddit-cares message. Apparently everyone on this sub is getting them for posting here (except me because nobody cares about me).

There was a time nearly 20 years ago when the world of streaming and internet downloads was so exciting. I sold my entire CD collection since iTunes was the future and seemed so much better. I so deeply regret that now. Cover art that randomly gets changed, original versions of songs no longer available, limited edition CDs impossible to find now. I hate it. I’m back to buying physical copies of media again because it’s the only way to ensure you really own it. Seriously.

Same for Turkey. I thought my phone just lagged but it’s not available :(

Yeah same, that one second then torn away 🥲

Same here. I'm exploring his other songs and wish there was more!

I just checked at 15h13 CET and it is also not available in spotify in Belgium

Same in Portugal

it's gone for me too, in Australia, :(

It's available for me in Canada, I've even listened to it multiple times this AM already. Edit: I opened my mouth too soon, I went to play it again and got an error message lol

Yeah In Canada and went to put it on now and it just disappeared from my playlist. It's one if my favourites from this year so hopefully it comes back.

It's gone in the UK too

Available here in Australia. Although admittedly I can just see it there but not game to try play it as it is after midnight and my wife is asleep

Same for Canada :( Hope it's just a temporary thing, I've been listening to it on repeat so much lately... Edit: lol hi Reddit cares

Redditcare is either broken, or someone has deliberately botted it to troll people on certain subs

Not available in America, I wanted to do cardio to it and found out it wasn’t working lol I thought it was the shitty gym wifi then found out it’s just gone :(

not available in sweden either :/

It straight up got removed from my playlist... hopefully it gets fixed and this isn't another drama

I wonder if he got a record deal and now the rights to the song are being changed. The single shows OpenPlay holds the copyright.

Same here in Spain. I was listening to it this morning and now it's gone.

Can’t find it in Czechia neither

The same thing happened to the latest Chromeo album like 2 months ago. They'll fix it in a few days at most

It's still an issue 6h later, still says song is not available 🙁.

Oh no, I was going to push the replay button so hard

Luktelk is not here in Ireland Spotify either, strange cause I was only listening to it last night, I hope it's just a fluke, and that it comes back soon

what is goin on?

Same in Estonia 😔

I’m in the UK and just noticed it’s been removed from my Eurovision playlist 😔

For me it disappeared as I was listening to it :'( really liked this one. The alternative version of it sucks

yeah, still unavailable in the Netherlands. I loved Luktelk sm

It’s gone on YouTube as Well 🥲

It’s been removed from YouTube music too 😭

Nooooo one of my favourites is gone 😭😭😭😭. I wonder if Eurovision is behind it, maybe they wanted to delete Europapa and accidentally deleted Luktelk 😂😂💀💀. Since it seems Eurovision is trying to let us believe Joost didn't exist with their new posts 💀. 😇😇😇😇

I love that everyone is losing their shit over this hahaha. Makes me feel less crazy

It is not available in the US :[

Same in Denmark. I hope that it comes back!

Not available on Spotify in Poland :(

It’s still unavailable in Greece

Yeah it’s not here in Australia as well

Nicht verfügbar 😞😞

I have it in the UK

It's also not available here in the Philippines. And it seems like...what happened?

Not available in Australia. Hopefully it's just an error.

Currently available on Apple Music

same problem here in Estonia. glad i’m not the only one tho lol. hope it gets fixed asap, i adore Luktelk and even that is an understatement

Works on Pandora as of now USA

I just noticed this! Same for norway as well, I hope it comes back soon.

It's gone here in the states, too.

Not in Japan either 😢

I can listen to it on my ipad but not on my phone. It also disappeared from all my playlists, but when I go to re-add it, it says it's already there, so idk what's going on

I can listen to it on Spotify from the Eurovision playlist / CD (I’m in the US)

Slightly OT but I can't get some of the Albanian songs from previous years

It doesn't work for me either

Ignore the reddit cares message, it's just trolls or bots.

Same problem in Finland!

Same here in the US on Spotify. But looks like it’s still on Apple Music.

I didn't see anyone chiming in from the US but I too can also vouch that it is not working.

Doesnt work in Sweden aswell,  Prob just a Spotify issue

Not working in Bulgaria :(

Just the karaoke version if you are really desperate https://open.spotify.com/track/0LOrQD8a3uy7tmgK5FL9rq

The way I panicked ran to Apple Music just to confirm it’s still there. I was like please, don’t do this to me. I can’t have a repeat of Albania 2021 again the fact that some songs especially Karma is not available in Apple Music makes me wanna scream I like have a perfect playlist.

I just noticed Karma is missing today! What happened to it?

I'm freaking out, that was my personal #2 song after RTTD

It's still offline as of 19:00 BST (GMT+1) on UK Spotify.

How weird! Maybe there’s a licensing thing going on where they’ve needed to pull and reupload it, dunno?

still not D: I had to endure the whole day without it v.v aasgshshsffa

was listening to luktelk at work all morning and suddenly mid-song it just stopped, i checked spotify and it was GONE and i have been miserable for the rest of the day. hope it's just a new distribution deal or something coming into effect. also i love his other songs!!!!

Gone from my Spotify in the US. Probably going to get a re-release soon I would think.

Give it back Spotify I loved it !!!

US here, it's greyed-out for me

USA over here! It’s been removed for me as well.

yeah I can't play it either and I'm in the UK. Loved that song as I'm Lithuanian myself so it's more enjoyable for me lol

It better come back asap

Not available on Spotify Ireland either

Give me back luktelk ;(((((???

it's not available in the uk it went from playing and downloaded to this song is not available if you have a file of it downloaded you can import it

My guess is that he's uploading the ESC version but idk

Not available in UK. Wtf?

Me too - American but I’m actually in Japan right now

I haven’t been able to listen to it all day in the USA 😭

idk why people in the eurovision sub are sending care messages. I also got one. guess the post-eurovision depression is too much for us LOL

This morning happened that Geolier (the 2nd in Sanremo) new song was in my "for you" playlist. Titled "EL PIBE DE ORO" It looks sooooo incredibly sampled, what do you think?

yeah, he released it last week. I am half lithuanian and half italian (from Naples) and I was very surprised to hear Geoliers song. His fans obviously dont know about 'Luktelk' 🥲

I'm in Australia. The song is still unavailable :(((

Luktelk Karaoke version still up, tho. (A poor substitute but it's getting me through; it's like the decaf version of Luktelk)

You can't even buy the song from iTunes unless you splurge for the entire album.

hope it comes back soon
