I constantly find my Release Radar recommending songs by an artist (say A) with the same name as an artist (say A') that I might actually wanna listen to. This is extremely dumb as an issue because these two artists are listed as genuinely different artists in Spotify and the newly recommended song by a wrong artist is listed as a song of A' in the system. A reasonable conclusion is that at least Release Radar does not look into the artist IDs but just merely refers to their names. This happens to like 5 different artists to me and my Release Radar is contaminated by songs which I have absolutely no interest in. I believe this is a very basic bug that can be fixed in like 5 minutes.

is there any solution in the meantime? I have been experiencing this problem for over a year now as well. With artists that steal names like:
- Slash
- Clueso
- John Williams
- Racer-X
- Santana
etc.
spotify what do you need in order to fix it? I million people reporting it?
The issue is probably so far down on their list of priorities that they just don't give a shīt, unfortunately.
They're too busy trying to develop their platform into a "pay-for-play" model it looks like 👀

Gave it two weeks, but no dice. The resetting "fix" didn't work, I still have the wrong Red and Polar and stuff in my release radar.
my release radar is full of useless-unbearable-garbage (underlined are the artists shadowed by explicit content and sh!tty hiphop tunes)
stop putting **bleep** into my ears for my own money!

Hey there folks,
Thank you for your posts and feedback.
As @Katerina mentioned the best way to report this is by getting in touch with our support team here. They can have a closer direct look at your accounts.
You can also leave a +VOTE and Subscribe to this idea for any updates.
Take care!
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for the suggestion, but the issue is that that won't and doesn't solve the problem. I got into contact and nothing that was done fixed it. It really does seem like something that is up with Spotify itself (the algorithm or the way artists are tagged--not by ID but name, maybe?), not our accounts.
I follow the metalband Engel. But what is this ugly song here? How is it even possible, that I have a song like this on my release radar?

I also follow ronnie james dio. But can you explain to me what this is?

it's again on my release radar. Everytime some songs like this are on the playlist. I don't want them!
This issue has been reported for months and months and the same pat answer. Really bad.
Here are the first 9 tracks on today's release radar with all the terrible rap songs put out by artists using existing bands names. Can you understand why this is a terrible experience for us?
How can you even allow some rapper to use the name DEVO on your platform for instance?
Android 10 on a Galaxy S10+ for the record. And here is a list of duplicate that I have noticed.
Gomez
The Cult
X
Bully
DEVO
Adolescents
Belly
Wire
Metz

This was in APRIL 2017, coming up to FOUR YEARS AGO.
I’m constantly dealing with random unheard of artists uploading their shitty RNB/Rap/Autotune garbage mixtapes under the names of/as collabs with my favourite heavy metal artists... why are we still dealing with this?
I know right? Like it's at the point where these garbage autotune rap guys have got to be trolling us/Spotify and Spotify just lets it go.
Let's keep this topic at the top until they actually acknowledge it meaningfully.
Yeah let's keep this at the top.
Wrong artists this week:
-Sloan
-Wire
-Metz
