Wrong artist even in a "This Is" playlist

Wrong artist even in a "This Is" playlist

My Question or Issue

So, I'm a fan of the jazz fusion band ALI, and I noticed that there is a recent single atributed to this band (this one), but the problem is that is not theirs. I guess it's from another artist called Ali, too.

 

The problem is not that only. The problem is that Spotify even included that single in the This is ALI playlist, which is very inconsiderate and careless. A "This Is" playlist should be arranged more carefully than that. Now this is a band that gets over 1,000,000 listeners per month, especially due to the popularity of some of the series they make songs for.

 

I might understand there was a mistake in attributing the single because of the name, but going as far as to include it in their This Is playlist is a little too much.

Hey @JJSTRK,

 

Thanks for flagging this with the Community!

 

This happens if a track initially gets erroneously uploaded to the artist you follow. It can be that the error is already corrected by the time This Is playlist updates, but it already captured the track on its upload. It can happen with featured artists as well.

 

Currently, there's no technical solution in place than can prevent errors like this happening, as we rely on submitted metadata. If you spot an incorrect content, it's best to report it as described here. Make sure your report is clear. Point that out the links to the Artists you've found in your report to ensure it can be processed efficiently.

 

Hope you find this information helpful and thank you again from the time you took to submit this feedback post.

The Highlighted song has the word Sleep in it.

So, there it is. 

Included in the Playlist "This is Sleep".

That imposter song is a real outsider and clashes hard with the band "Sleep".

How about adding a report button for these types of mistakes.

Maybe Spotify can Help us kill off those Cringe moments.
