WayV's songs are included in the playlist This Is NCT, and i suggested to remove them. I'm looking forward to it. They recently released their 1st Full Album called 'Awaken The World'. They already have 1 single digital called 'The Vision', 2 Mini Album called Take Off and Take Over The Moon, and released an english version of Love Talk which is a song from Take Over The Moon album. In total, there are already 26 songs. And WayV is the first chinese group to exceed 1 Million Listeners on spotify. I'm suggesting spotify to give them their seperate playlist, so we can listen to WayV's songs on repeat and besides, WayV deserves it. I'm hoping and looking forward to this. Thank you so much. ...

They still do not have a “This is Nu’est” playlist, and this will make it more accessible and convenient for new listeners who are interested to listen to NU’EST and NU’EST W’s discography. They recently released their newest EP, The Nocturne, on May 11, and this can help to reach their music to the masses~ Their title tracks have a few million streams cumulated and through this playlist, it will allow more Spotify users to discover the artist NU’EST! I sincerely hope that this playlist can be implemented to to further broaden the variety and outreach to all listeners on Spotify!   for those voting: please make sure you add a username to your spotify community profile for your vote to count after you login using your spotify account!!! you need a community username for your vote to be counted! to check if you have voted, click on the number of votes and see if your community username is there, if it is there, you have successfully voted! thank you so much LOVES  ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ...

Cover art is an important part of every release and some of the time sells someone on checking out the release, it would be great to have an option to add credit to the artist on a release.   Same thing can be said for other people who have had their hand in a release, with physical releases you can usually find a whole list of credits for a track, the option to add this into the digital releases would be amazing. ...

Instead of donate buttons or other direct to artist tips/payments, how about a more natural system of donating to the artists one listens to via an optional monthly donation system. Doing it this way could have some major benefits for both Spotify and the artists.    The idea is simple: keep the streaming services the way they are, with their low prices and low payouts, but add a voluntary "tip the artists you listen to" system where 100% of the tips go to the artists. Keeping the payments low lets low income users enjoy their music, while the optional payments will help the people who can afford it feel good about using Spotify to listen to the music they love. Win-win!   Users are simply given the option to pay a little more on their monthly bill with the promise that 100% of that extra money goes to the artists that they listen to. Eventually the system could even send the customer a list of the artists they contributed to, but it would not take long for the news to get out that artists were starting to make more money from Spotify, which would make people want to give more. People who love music really do want the artists they love to do well.   The advantage to Spotify would be the bragging rights that they pay artists more. The advantage to the customer is that they can feel good about streaming   music ... especially local small-time artists!   Artists would be much more likely to encourage the use of the streaming service and customers would be encourage to listen to more local artists on Spotify. Artists would also be incentivized to put more of their   music   on the streaming service and since they would be making more money from it, they would be encouraged to make more of it. Everyone wins!   Here is an extreme example. Let's say I choose to add a $10 tip to my monthly Spotify fee, but I am an infrequent user and I only listen to my friends band that month. Then the friends band would get the entire $10, since I only listened to them. The band would then be highly incentivized to promote streaming their songs on Spotify and a band with a few thousand followers could make significant money from their   music . This would in turn give Spotify major bragging rights and praise from the artists.   If Spotify started doing this, Pandora, Apple and eventually Google would be encouraged to follow suit or they would risk loosing the artists. If Spotify does this right, eventually artists could go direct to Spotify and skip the record labels and skip ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC.   I really think it is time for   musicians   to start making money again and I would love to see Spotify help them with that. ...

I'd like to propose that Spotify removes the track play counts on artists' public profiles for three reasons. 1) They encourage bad behaviour 2) They are contributing to mental health issues in the independent music community 3) The serve little real value.    1) They encourage bad behaviour No one wants a profile that shows <1000 plays for their tracks or only a few thousand but this is a reality for most independent artists regardless of how good they are. The volume of music out there is so great that a large percentage will always be in this camp. So a whole industry has developed to 'sell' streams to musicians. Many are scams and of course do not deliver real listeners - and are against Spotify's T's & C's. A second industry of stream-for-stream has developed where people with little interest in your music will play it (not listen to it) so that you will play theirs - all in service of boosting those play numbers on your profile.  Just look at the number of Facebook groups there are.   2) They are contributing to mental health issues in the music community To some readers, this statement will sound melodramatic, but it is a real concern. The internet and social media provides a whole host of great opportunities for indie musicians but the presure of keeping up with all the channels is immense. The play counts significantly adds to this pressure and as a result, a number of musicians have gone under and others teeter on the edge.   3) They serve little real value At the top end, who really cares that Ed Sheeran has 12m plays vs 24m? Spotify already shows which are the most popular tracks to guide listeners. At the other end it is, as written above, causing unnecessary stress and bad behaviour.   Implementing this idea is a win-win for Spotify. It's a good Corporate Responsibility action; recognising the damage it is causing and it will save money i.e. not paying out on many silent streams.    Thanks for reading this far and I hope you will support this suggestion. ...

The best way to gain new listeners is by advertising. Could Spotify for Artists start showing where our followers are from, not just our overall listeners? I want the same exact info as our listeners data but also from followers.   I want to know which countries and cities my targe actually follow my artist pages from so I can narrow my targets. This will help indie artists out in so many ways, including saving costs on unnecessary targeting. ... View more

There should be a section in the Spotify Community for artists to get help. Right now there is not a dedicated section and artists have to post in a section that is not related. This makes it hard for artists to get answers because their post will get overlooked if posted in the wrong section. It also makes it hard to search for artist threads that have already been answered.   The focus of Spotify has always been towards the user, but now with the new Spotify Artists site and all of the amazing tools for artists, the artists shouldn't be left out on the community either. There should be a section under help specifically for artists to ask their questions and to get help. The section could be titled "Spotify for Artists" and have a description that explains what to post there.   There has been an increasing amount of threads from artists and they have been getting great and helpful answers from other artists in the community. Most of these questions are just general questions that other artists can answer. Artists that require more assistance will of course still have to contact the artist team via the form. Adding this new section would make it easier for them to find answers because instead of searching around, they can just go through the threads in this new section.   An alternative would be to launch a new community forum dedicated to artists on the https://artists.spotify.com website.   If there were to be a new community just for artists it won't stop artists from posting in the community. Then there's the confusion that there's 2 communities and they are posting in the wrong one. If everything is under one it would be better. There's already a mod team, great development, spam protection, etc.  Users would have to make new community accounts. Overall just a lot of work to start a new community. ... View more

Spotify is great. Make no mistake it's incredible for the music industry and for the artists themselves. But let's face it, there's so much more we know it can do, and will be able to do as it evolves. So let's make a new Elite Membership for those musicians, artists, music fans & DJs for those who want more than the basic and premium features. For those who want more out of their favourite music app Spotify because they know it can give it to them. Elite membership can include: -Direct WAV or 320kbps downloads -Membership costs now cover the costs of the DJ buying music and it's done in one simple place -Automix of selected playlist then save or download -Online storage space for downloads or automixes -More detailed track info like release date, key, BPM etc -Export track to- Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, Ableton, Rekordbox, USB, Android Beam etc etc option -Ability to Modify Genres and add sub-genres in homescreen -Ability to add to playlist when using Android auto Google assistant and Apple Car Play and have more functionality including search options that are typeable and voice command input box -AutoDJ set- type in set time and random amount of tracks chosen by algorithm of your liked tracks will be chosen to fill that time space, then you can export either automixes or as single tracks to be mixed by you later   And many more features............. As an artist myself I know id pay the extra money for an elite membership that could give me cool features like that!! Wouldn't you?? @DJ-MastaJ  ... View more

With 10’s of millions if not 100’s of millions of guitarist players worldwide and the tech available in other apps but not when using Spotify, this feature would be a fantastic addition to the Spotify features list.

No more having to retune your guitar when playing along to your favourite music! Please Spotify, help us. ... View more

In general I think it's cool that Spotify sometimes shows artist information while a song is playing on my Roku Spotify app. But there's some things that I think would REALLY enhance the user experience on similar Spotify platforms:  With such a large screen format as most TVs (and you could create this option or similar for other screens as well I would think!), I think that users need a lot more control control of things!   For example, if lyrics exist, I probably want to see lyrics. But then the lyrics are alternated with artist bio info, and that's really frustrating to not be able to control those interruptions as I access the content, and sometimes prompts me to give up and pay attention to whatever else again. Or maybe it's a song where I already know the lyrics, so I'd rather see artist info... why not be able to choose?    (btw I love MOST when lyrics are present, so please keep providing them!!)   What I think would be amazing is if every song had icons or something for all available content options -- a button would appear (imo, ideally in a static visual layout regardless of which buttons are appearing, creating an "at a glance" reference for users) when Spotify can provide that content, for example: album art (current default we'll say), lyrics, artist bio, music video, artist website, and whatever else. Then it would be great if, when possible, there was a "read more" or similar feature to continue accessing that or similar content if desired, but that's more of a cherry on top.    This would hugely enhance my interaction with Spotify, which I have on pretty much all day every day on my Roku-powered TV. It would also benefit artists, I think, either directly by costing more or indirectly by getting their work even more known and understood. Honestly it seems to me like these features could prompt some very big changes in how people in general interact with music and artists and could be a great landing spot for the industry as a way to keep artists and listeners connected.  I would pay more for all of these features, but I am not sure at the moment how much more I would find to be reasonable. I feel like it would be pretty significant though if it was really what I'm imagining. But if my ideas make you lots of money you have to give me a free subscription!  PS I really don't know how to categorize this... I've never browsed your blog or anything, just hoped you had a way for me to share ideas and here we are! Really cool system!! But yeah not sure where to categorize this one. Connect, because of social connections, even if not with peers/other customers? Spotify for Artists, due to the implications of how artists could be involved? Developer because this is gonna take some development time and energy? Discover because with these features I could learn more? I don't know!  ... View more

I'm bringing this up again because the other posts are now "closed". I had heard that Spotify added a donate button, and I thought "finally!" Turns out it's to support charities, which is great, but I think especially now that the main source of income for the majority of artists (touring) is on hold, it's time that Spotify finally admits that, yes, it is absolutely possible to allow artists to add a "Donate to Me" button on their page.   The reasons given in other posts ("we don't pay artists directly, we pay the labels") don't add up. As an artist there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to go to my Spotify Artist page and have a donate button that goes to wherever I choose. In the case of an artist with a label, that could be negotiated between them and set up by whoever controls the Spotify account. Or that feature could be ignored in such cases, since it would have to be set up manually. Regardless, that wouldn't need to be Spotify's concern. It would be merely a feature offered for the Artist to use, if they want.   I don't know why Spotify chooses to ignore this easy way to support the music community. I can only speculate as to motivation. Is it because you want to avoid uncomfortable conversations about how little streaming pays, and adding a donate button would remind people that music has value and isn't free to create? Maybe you're worried that non-Premium users would donate instead of signing up for Premium. Well, okay, make it only available to Premium users.   Most likely it's just not a priority for a company focused on the bottom line. But I would think at least some people working at Spotify would be doing it because they love music and musicians. Streaming has destroyed the income that recorded music used to provide, we all know this. If you don't do something to help artists, eventually this resource will dry up. Or artists will gradually transition to ways that pay better (Twitch, Bandcamp, Patreon, etc.). ... View more

When I'm looking at older artists in particular, I always feel like I have to scroll really far to separate their studio albums from their remastered, acoustic, and concert albums, and anything similar to that. It would be nice to have all the studio albums up front, then the singles and EPs, and then the rest of the albums at the bottom separated into categories. I really, truly believe this would be a beneficial change.  ... View more

Here's a really good idea Spotify. We know you're controlled by major record companies but why don't you stop deliberately choking independent bands so they can't grow organically?   I'm saying this because, as an independent artist on Spotify I've noticed a pattern where, once I receive a certain amount of listeners per month, Spotify seems to stop playing my tracks in any algorithmical playlists so that my listener count never rises.   In 2018, my listeners numbered 350 per month (not a great deal I know). This had however risen over the previous year and in the last three months of 2018 had started to grow sharply, increasing at a rate of about 20% per month. I was getting about 80 -100 listeners per week and getting about 10 - 15  track likes per week. I confidently expected at least a small amount of incremental growth per month. Instead in the third week of January 2019, suddenly and for no explicable reason, I only had about 10 listeners for the whole week. Result - monthly listener numbers stagnated at 350.   Ever since then the pattern has repeated over and over nearly every month. I get three of four weeks where I'm getting 80 - 100 listeners per week and listeners build up, and then suddenly after a few weeks I get a week with the same inevitable crash, keeping my listener numbers in the 350 region.   I can't see how this would happen (especially as the tracks are getting so many likes) unless Spotify is deliberately manipulating its algorithmical playlists to actively keep independent artists from growing an organic fanbase.   Interestingly, I've just noticed that as of this month (February 2020) , when I create a playlist (usually indie rock based), Spotify has stopped suggesting similar tracks and artists and is now dropping in major label chart releases instead.   ...
