Add "Originally By" in the credits for cover sung by multiple people

Status: Live Idea
0 Likes

Some songs are covered by many artists on Spotify, an extra bit of information alongside the lines of "Originally By" in the credits section of a song would go a long way, especially to help someone find who sang a particular song first.

To give an example, if you search "Usseewa" you will find at least 3 matches titled "Usseewa" but each covered by a different artist, each with different credits for "main artist" and "composer, producer"

Sometimes, you can find intersections in these credits, but it generally is not clear who originally produced, sung or covered this song.

This idea would improve the user experience on the platform, and it certainly would not be non-beneficial to the parties involved, whether a song's original producer, composer, singer, etc. or the people covering it and singing it with their own voices and styles.
