Unknown artists are listing bigger names as collaborators and its polluting release radar.

Unknown artists are listing bigger names as collaborators and its polluting release radar.

 

I've noticed this start to happen more and more lately. It's destroying the listening experience of playlists like release radar and cheapens Spotify so much. 

There doesn't seem to be any straightforward way to report this to Spotify directly, so hoping someone here can see it and bring it to the right mods attention, cheers

Hey I have a question How to connect Spotify with discord?
In my Account there is no "Ask the community" option available. So I'm asking here.

i've seen this trend as well and did some research recently, and basically the only actionable information i turned up was to report this directly to spotify (which, as you said, is not straightforward) here:

https://support.spotify.com/us/contact-spotify-support/

click "Report a broken track/album", then click "I still need help"; there you can enter a link to the track and your report (the track has been attributed to the wrong artist and is incorrectly showing up in my release radar / whatever).

I've just looked into the matter. In the first example cited, the track is called River (Jack Burton Remix). It is a track by PNAU and Ladyhawke that was remixed by Jack Burton. That remix appears to actually have been commissioned by the artists. It was released under the etcetc Music Pty Ltd label, just like the Tobiahs Remix and the original version of the track. All versions (in the Singles & EPs section)

As for the other examples, maybe there were no such collaborations at all, but wouldn't the underligned artists report it? As suggested, you could always report it to Spotify for further investigation.

Note: Just because a lesser known name appears next to a bigger one, it doesn't necessarily mean the collaboration is untrue. It depends on each case.
