Duplicate Spotify Artist Profile Created – Need Album Moved to Correct Profile

Ask a Question
1

Hi iMusician team,

I’ve recently uploaded a new album for one of my music projects. The release has successfully passed the initial checks.

However, instead of being linked to the existing Spotify artist profile, a new (duplicate and empty) Spotify artist profile with the same name was created.

I kindly ask you to:

  • Move the upcoming release (scheduled for April 30th) to the correct existing Spotify artist profile.

  • Remove the duplicate Spotify artist profile that was mistakenly created.

Please let me know if you need the correct Spotify Artist URI or any other information to process this.

Hey @dgtldtrt,

Unfortunately at this stage it’s not possible to correct this. We will have to wait for the release to go live and only then will we be able to send a request to Spotify.

In previous cases we’ve tried asking Spotify to correct attribution mistakes before the release is uploaded, but it never works :confused:

What can I do in the future to help you avoid this type of mistake?

The project already had four albums distributed through iMusician.
During the upload, I selected the existing profile.

The best way to avoid this by is using an artist name that’s not too generic and that isn’t already used by other people :slight_smile:
