Bug report: Many albums are missing on artist's pages

Bug report: Many albums are missing on artist's pages

Many albums are present in Spotify but missing on artist's pages. For example, you can find Symphony by Sara Brightman (with the red/black dress in the artwork). But if you search for Sara Brightman first, then you won't see this album there.

This can happen because songs can be distributed by different publishers, and it's possible for a song to be present on a compilation album or a playlist, but not on the original artist's profile page. Distribution rights can also vary by region, so sometimes a publisher has the rights to a particular work only in a specific region, and the performing artist may no longer have those rights.

 

In short, the availability of a particular album or song on an artist's profile page on Spotify can depend on various factors, including distribution rights, licensing agreements, and regional availability. This can make things a bit complex, but it's all part of the music industry and how it operates.

Could you please investigate this particular example?
