Wrong Artist Tag

Solved!

Wrong Artist Tag

So I'm into a lot of weird outlandish metal and stuff, and one band I listen to are called YOB, just YOB, and for whatever reason Spotify have a lot of their stuff tagged as Yo-B, and there's no hyphen or lowercase letters in YOB's name. It's not only frustrating it's **bleep**ing up my Last.fm scrobbles as well. 

 

Any solutions?

Hello:

 

Reads like from your post the songs themselves are tagged wrong due to Last.fm scobbels, and so the content probable needs the attention of the label or aggregate digital service that made the content available to Spotify in the first place. Following the information below will allow Spotify to collect the necessary information and send it along to the service that original made the content available:

 

If you've seen either

- a track, album, or artist in our catalogue with incorrect information (i.e. wrong release year, misspelling, etc.)

- different artists in the same Artist Page

- incorrect cover arts

- incorrect artists biography

or

- a track or album that isn't playing correctly (i.e. a song only playing one second of music)

Then you can report the error using the Contact Form. Once there, perform the following steps:

Step 1: Click on "I want to report a broken song or wrong song information".
Step 2: Click on the Green Button that reads "I STILL NEED HELP".
Step 3: Copy and Paste the track URI links to the songs into the field that reads "Song URI".
Step 4: Type up a description of the track issues in the "Tell us more" field.
Step 5: Click on the green button "SEND QUESTION".
Be sure to include all Spotify URI's in the body of the message!

After contacting Customer Support, you should receive an automated response from Spotify. The tracks will then be aggregated and reported to the content provider. Customer Support will update their database with the correct information as soon as the label or aggregator has sent them an update with the correct data.

 

You can use the method above as the artist page is also mislabeled wrong with Yo-b being the same artist as YOB, and the content should be merged, but probable not until it is corrected anyway by the content provider that added it to the Spotify service.

Nah it's definitely not because of Last.fm Scrobbles because everything was properly tagged up until about week ago and certain songs just switched from YOB to Yo-B, its weird but I'll follow the steps you listed and see what happens.

Thanks!
