Topspin, now owned by ArtistLink, has discontinued their merchandise integration with Spotify, leaving BandPage the only option that artists and labels have to sell merchandise on the popular music streamer. Once a leader in the direct to fan space, Topspin has steadily declined in popularity since new owners ArtistLink took over last summer.
