Merge numbers of streams of different song masters

[Ognjen1]

Spotify should allow users to merge, or at least report two or more different editions of the same recording that have a different number of streams and should be merged. This could work the other way around as well - the users could report two versions of a song that mistakenly have a linked number of streams but shouldn't (for instance, a studio and live version of a song); although the solution for this would be more complicated as we are looking for two numbers out of only one, as opposed to just adding two numbers to get the third.

Spotify apparently has a system that takes a song that's being uploaded and checks the database for that same song, in case there's already an existing version of it, so as to "link" the two recordings and for them to share the number of streams. While this functionality often gives good results, unfortunately there are times at which it doesn't. For example, when a remaster of an album is released and, instead of getting the number of streams from the original recordings, the songs start at 0, which then generates two instances of a song and gives an untrue insight into its number of listens (See images 1 and 2 - the same instances of an album, the first uploaded independently by the artist, and the second remastered and released by their label, have completely different numbers of streams for the majority of the songs).
