My Question or Issue

I'm calling the following URL to search Spotify for artists:

https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?q=Nirvana&type=artist&offset=0&limit=20

The result contains 20 items with a total value of 87. The "next" url has an offset of 20, so I would expect to have five "pages" in sum, the fifth and last one containing only seven items. But that's not the case. Requesting the fourth page with offset 60:

https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?q=Nirvana&type=artist&offset=60&limit=20

gives only 7 items. The response also contains a "next" link with an offset of 80 but this gives an empty list of items. So 20 items are missing or the total number is not correct.

Am I doing something wrong here or is this actually a bug? Other artists also show wrong looking total numbers. Searching for "Opeth" with a limit of 20 gives one item yet a total value of two...

Best regards from Berlin
