Hey @Lowshape,

When has your artist page been verified? 🙂

Thanks for letting me know.

Spotify used to merge artist pages with user profiles, allowing the artist to publish playlists directly under their artist name.

Since the launch of Spotify for Artists, it's no longer required to merge them so Spotify has stopped doing that.

Right now, it's expected behaviour that your playlist is published under your personal account, instead of your artist name. I'll pass your feedback onto Spotify about this though.

Thank you for the explanation, but I can't understand why spotify did this. 🙂

I hope they step back in the future.
