Report an artist listed under wrong letter

Report an artist listed under wrong letter

Hey folks, there's an artist whose name begins with an 'A' but shows up between the letters 'K' and 'L' in the Artists list. Unfollowing/following doesn't fix and this happens across all three platforms--my phone (ios), desktop app and the web player. I searched but couldn't find anything on how to report this type of issue.

Hey @likemattgik

 

Unfortunately, this is intended. Spotify ignores the first letter of an artist, song, or album title if it starts with "A", "The", etc because it is a common title starter. Instead in these cases, the A-Z sort will focus on the first letter of the second word in the title. If an artist uses different formatting like that (spaces between every letter) then the artist will not show up in the right order due to the sort thinking it has the common "A" at the beginning of the title.

 

I can pass on your feedback and hopefully this can be addressed in a future update.
