My Question or Issue
https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/get-an-artist

There is a new About section on the artist spotify page, which has a bio description, # in the world, followers & monthly listeners
Is that information to be added later in the web api or not planned? 

thanks

Hi, thanks for reaching out. It is not in our plans at the moment. But I am curious, if you had this information available via the Web API, what would you want to use it for?

no particular reason.   

possibly to display on a search page & provide attribution

We still don't have 'monthly listeners' on get artist requests. Only followers and popularity.. please add monthly requests!😭
