Quick answer
Sometimes. You can often fix this by reporting the issue directly with the platform (for example Spotify or Apple Music). CD Baby can help when platforms won’t fix it—but only in cases where they accept artist separation requests.
What’s happening and why
Your music shows on the wrong artist page when a platform (like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, or YouTube) matched your release to the wrong artist profile. This commonly happens when different artists share the same or similar names or when artist names have different spelling, accents, or capitalization.
Once a release has been delivered, platforms control how it’s linked to an artist page. CD Baby can't directly edit that connection from your account; you or the platform must correct it.
How do I fix my music on the wrong artist page?
Report the issue on the platform where it’s wrong
Each platform has its own way to correct artist pages:
- Spotify: In Spotify for Artists, use the content mismatch or artist separation form to report that your music is on the wrong artist page.
- Apple Music: In Apple Music for Artists, contact support and choose the “Artist Catalog Issues” topic.
- Amazon Music: request through the Amazon Music for Artists app or web portal.
- Deezer: Request a separation through your Deezer for Creators account.
- Tidal: Submit a request through this form.
YouTube / YouTube Music
- Your music may temporarily appear under “Various Artists – Topic” if there’s no existing profile.
- Tracks usually automatically move to a correct topic channel within ~30 days.
- If they don’t, you can request a new topic channel or separation.
When can CD Baby help?
CD Baby can file a request with certain partners when they accept artist separation requests, but only if the platform won’t correct the issue directly. In those cases, you can submit a request via this form.
Before contacting support, have ready:
- UPC barcodes of impacted releases
- A link to the correct artist page
- A link to the incorrect artist page
- Names of the affected tracks
We cannot help if the platform does not accept artist separation requests (for example, many download partners or platforms without separation workflows).
