Right now we don't have a great way to collect information about errors in our data from our users in an actionable format. This was one key learning from Line-In, and something that we would look to improve with future features.

If you're an artist and your music ends up on a different artist profile, or if another artist’s music appears on your profile, we can get that fixed for you quickly. You have two options for addressing these errors—either reach out to your distributor or label and follow their instructions, or contact the Spotify for Artists support team and let us know that there’s music on the wrong artist profile. We’ll follow up quickly to get the details we need to correct the error.

You can report mismatched content if you see it live on Spotify, but we recently made it easier for you to catch these errors before they’re visible to listeners: you can see upcoming releases within your Catalog in Spotify for Artists. If you notice an incorrect release there—or you don’t see a release that you were expecting—you can follow the same steps as above.

We’re working with distributors and labels to implement solutions that improve the accuracy of our catalog. There are millions of artists on Spotify delivering over 20,000 tracks per day, so it’s likely that there are artists out there with the same or similar names. We recommend using a distributor that enables you to deliver music with a specified artist ID so it's added to the right artist page and there is no guesswork. We've highlighted preferred distributors who are using best practices to reduce metadata problems.

2. No idea (this is a totally different "OM"; I guess there should be 2 artist pages

3. - Om's Discog on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om_(band)#Discography (doesn't include this album)

- Band's official cite lists nothing about a new album this year: http://www.omvibratory.com/

Bonus: This album is tagged as Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals album, but it is placed on Ben Harper's page, so you should move it to Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals page.

Al Be ft. Well$ - Saved should be on the "Al Be" artist's page. The same artist that put the album out "No Need". Also the featured artist is "Well$" not "Well". The information is showing up fine in iTunes. Not sure what tripped it up here.

The artist Kristy Lee has an album by a different artist of the same name listed under her name. The incorrect album is Past Beginnings. Please correct, as their styles are very different and I would hate for someone to think that album represents the soulful, powerful, other Kristy Lee.

There's two different artists listed under the name Pono. Other one from Poland and the other from Finland. The finnish one needs a new profile. If the profile names are case sensitive, may I suggest all upper case letters for finnish Pono (PONO)

Polish Pono's profile:

This split single (Sea of bones/Ramlord 2016) is misplaced: spotify:album:6czCSCYDGvPcjayF5Vb43R

Also this one (Ramlord 2015) is misplaced: spotify:album:1FWP6zMINfj7tnvv1M8O0B

These both are under artist RÄMLORD (with Ä-spots).

Them both should be under RAMLORD (without A-spots) https://open.spotify.com/artist/2zzMoOSEaDseSxtyFwTqNR

Album https://open.spotify.com/album/3cfqSPW2MJ7isplV4KpWmz is recorder by band from Wrocław http://skazaofficial.com
And album https://open.spotify.com/album/2xW97ZLQnLvTm4G8CKyNa7 is done by other band. Those should be splitted.

There are two "Full Kareta" on Spotify, and the latest release is located under the wrong band. "Offended" (https://open.spotify.com/track/0HU3aNWRyrqMWjJpEn0WJO=) belongs to https://open.spotify.com/artist/2VmmQPnpa45ffz3zvRg05b.

Not sure how to deal with this when I upload new releases - I'm using Distrokid. Any ideas?

I am a new artist on Spotify and my song is coming up under a different artists name. Our names are indeed similar, except mine is shown "J.A.WS" as opposed to their "Jaws". Can you fix this for me?
I'm willing to send you an artist photo.
