[Spotify for Artists] Ask artists to confirm collaborations before release day

[Spotify for Artists] Ask artists to confirm collaborations before release day

Fake "collaborations" are becoming more and more common. It's too easy for any band to tag any artist as a collaborator and find their way into another bands release radar for extra week 1 streams. Even if a track like this is reported instantly, it can take weeks for this info to be corrected, and obviously scammers and deceptive bands know this. Even if they get reported immediately, they will still get their week 1 release radar streams. Spotify already has a system for verifying artists through Spotify Artist accounts. I'm suggesting that if Band A tags Band B as a collaborator, send an email to Band B asking them to confirm or deny the "collaboration" through Spotify artists. And  if Band A isn't even verified, maybe do not allow them to tag anybody at all.
