Wrong artist name on Apple Music (only, that I know of)

Ask a Question Distribution & Releases
1

Greetings,
Have just noticed releases for “myster_ex” appear under the name/profile of “Mysterex” on AM - ‎Mysterex - Apple Music. The releases are ‎The Music - Album by Mysterex - Apple Music and ‎Silver and Gold - Single - Album by Mysterex - Apple Music. The other artist (mysterex) has a number of albums and singles, so appears to be an active artist, but should not be associated with “myster_ex” releases.

Is this something I need to chase with AM, or are they known for not recognising the underscore in artist names? As “mysterex” are the more established artist, will I need to change artist name just for AM, or both releases?

many thanks in advance, Tony.

Hey @FatTony, thanks for reaching out.

We’ve forwarded a request to Apple and they’ll move your releases to a new artist profile within 1-2 weeks. Don’t worry, you don’t need to change your artist name :+1:

Thanks Carlos and A2D - this is a great help. I checked all the other outlets, and they have the unique name, happy to wait-out for Apple to correct. Thanks again.
