Release listed on the wrong profile

Release listed on the wrong profile

The single "Sharknado" by The Offspring is listed on the profile of a gospel group.

 

https://open.spotify.com/album/2u0nmoSjTx9xjP41jMdQ1J

 

It should be moved to this artist profile.

I contacted Spotify about this in 2018 and it still hasn't been fixed.

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

Sorry about that. You can report content following these steps, and there should be a form for you to fill out following the steps on that page. Once you do, Spotify will investigate. 

 

Let me know if I can help with anything else. Stay awesome!

I have reported the song and asked to move the release to the correct band's profile.

Hey @ThomWim,

 

Thanks for the update! Spotify will review and take it from there.

 

I'll be here if you need anything else!

I have also reached out to the band through their website and on Twitter. Hopefully they'll know what to do.

The band thanked me for the heads up, and they'll see what they can do to get “Sharknado” on their correct profile.

The correct artist URI for that release is spotify:artist:5LfGQac0EIXyAN8aUwmNAQ

 

The distributor most likely made a mistake and posted the single onto the wrong profile.

@Billy-J

 

I've followed all the steps, filled out the forms, contacted the band, their label, music publisher, distributor... and the release is still not listed on the correct profile.

 

The release that's listed on the wrong profile is spotify:album:2u0nmoSjTx9xjP41jMdQ1J

https://open.spotify.com/album/2u0nmoSjTx9xjP41jMdQ1J

 

The wrong profile is spotify:artist:0Rg9knyDFkQL3IC0RCFoHh

https://open.spotify.com/artist/0Rg9knyDFkQL3IC0RCFoHh

 

The correct profile is spotify:artist:5LfGQac0EIXyAN8aUwmNAQ

https://open.spotify.com/artist/5LfGQac0EIXyAN8aUwmNAQ

 

The "wrong" profile has one punk rock song and mostly African gospel music.

 

The "correct" profile has 100% punk rock songs.

Hey @ThomWim,

 

Thanks for posting.

 

We appreciate your report, as does the band. Please take into consideration that it might take some time for the right team to set things straight. The reason for this is that it involves a lot of coordination between the artists, distributors and Spotify. 

 

If you find more such content, we'd appreciate it if you report it as well using the steps above that @Billy-J posted.

 

Hope this info is useful. Let us know if there's anything else we can help out with.
