Correct credits

[peobjorn]

How do I correct an obvious incorrect songwriter credit? I have seen that as an ”idea”, closed due to no votes. But this is not an ”idea”, it’s about correcting false information.

Hey @peobjorn, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. You can report content on Spotify following these steps, and Spotify will take a look and investigate. 

Have a nice day!

Hi.  The link for "these steps" to advise incorrect information is incorrect or has changed.  
I used to have a different link for correcting credits, but that also doesn't work.  I've found so many errors, I'd love to find an easy way to get them corrected.  Thanks!

Hey @JohnJPusateri,

Thanks for posting in the Community! Keep in mind that songwriter credits are provided by the right holders or the owners of that song. The link I provided you is the only way to get in touch with Spotify to let them know that the songwriter credits are incorrect or need to be updated.

If you have any more questions, let me know. Have a good day!

The super famous song "The Girl from Ipanema" is credited here https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/7znjbX9XdoQayIrVNdd50Z?si=756cfdec17614ac9 only to Stan Getz, which is REALLY wrong:

First of all, the album sleeve reads
"Stan Getz
Joao Gilberto
featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim"
and in fact, most other tracks on this legendary album https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/album/2W6Hvrtg2Zpc9dW4aBDbdP?si=OsoLmVC0SGq_ZbPFds7hag are credited that way. 
Except the tracks Astrud Gilberto sung on, which are credited "Stan Getz, Joao Gilberto, Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim", including the single and mono version of "Girl from Ipanema". 
So please, credit the first track on that album that way, too! it's the first track Astrud Gilberto sung on and which made her really famous, she not being linked to that particular song is really confusing. 
Also, from all people involved in this song, Stan Getz took only a relatively small part: he only played tenor saxophone. The song is composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim, its Portuguese lyrics are from  Vinícius de Moraes, its english lyrics from Norman Gimbel, and its main interpret before was Joao Gilberto (a friend of Jobim). Stan Getz was "only" a kind of Trittbrettfahrer as we would say in Germany...

So please fix that credit to include all four artists! Thanks.
