[Artist Page] Wikpedia Link for Artist

[aveme]

It would be really nice to have two small buttons added.

1) "www"-button, which instantly opens or switches to your web browser and searches google, bing or whatever about the band. i.e. If I click on the "www"-button of the band "Massive Attack" it opens my web browser with a search of "Massive Attack" in google. (maybe add the option to change the default search engine in the preferences)

2) "wikipedia"-button, which instantly opens or switches to your web browser to perform a search on wikipedia of the band. basically the same idea as the first button but with wikipedia.

If I'm finding new bands through Spotify, that I really enjoy, I often google them or read their wikipedia page while I'm listening to the band for the first time. These button features could also be used to instantly check if the band has more albums/tracks than listed in spotify or to find lyrics that aren't in the spotify app(s).

Hi, if a partnership is not possible, it would be great if spotify adds his own wiki to the songs. I really like to read more about artists and songs! Even better to have your own so I don't have to open Google Chrome! Thanks of over thinking this!

A simple universal solution to that question could be to extend the right click menu as follows:
right click on the Artist shows the current menu plus a line
"copy Artist name to clipboard"

right click on the Album shows the current menu plus a line
"copy Album name to clipboard"

etc.

After paste the copied item to the search of the preferred web site - ready.

In this time and age, no connectivity (links) to other information sources and completely unselectable text content. One can write a book about bad UI/UX choices of Spotify!

Hey folks, 

Thanks for voting on this idea. 

Artists are now able to add Wikipedia pages to their Artist Profiles. It appears alongside their Social Media profiles on the about section:

Artist's have to add the link themselves, so if you don't see one it's because the artist hasn't added it yet. 

Thanks!
