Wrong artist names

[ThomWim]

Since these artists are big-name artists, it's hard for the average person to contact the record label.

"N.W.A.": The correct spelling of this group's name is N.W.A (without the period after the A)

"At the Drive In": The correct name is "At the Drive-In" (with a hyphen)

Spotify really doesn't care about these issues. I went to the support page that @OneByBoo mentions and the guy didn't even know what metadata meant. It is a mess and they don't care. This should be so easy to fix. Just crowdsource it or let us control the data in our own accounts.

@eldoctorador Here's how I would fill out the contact form.

"This artist's name is spelled wrong, or they were not credited that way on their albums. The correct spelling should be ..."

"Here is one of their album covers with the correct spelling"
