At a time when AI slop<\/a> is flooding music streaming<\/a> platforms, Spotify is beta testing a new \u201cArtist Profile Protection\u201d feature that allows artists to review releases before they go live on their profiles. The idea behind the new tool is to give artists more control over which tracks are associated with their name on the streaming service.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusic has been landing on the wrong artist pages across streaming services, and the rise of easy-to-produce AI tracks has made the problem worse,\u201d Spotify wrote in a blog post<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s not the experience we want artists to have on Spotify, and that\u2019s why we\u2019ve made protecting artist identity a top priority for 2026. Today, we\u2019re announcing a first-of-its-kind solution to a problem that\u2019s affected streaming for years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Artists in the beta have the ability to review and approve or decline releases delivered to Spotify. Only the releases that they approve will appear on their artist profile, contribute to their stats, and show up in users\u2019 recommendations. <\/p>\n

Spotify\u2019s announcement comes a week after Sony Music said that it has requested the removal<\/a> of more than 135,000 AI-generated songs impersonating its artists on streaming services. <\/p>\n

Spotify says that while open distribution has made it easier for independent artists to release music, it also creates opportunities for mistakes and bad actors. Tracks can end up on the wrong artist\u2019s profile due to metadata errors, confusion between artists with the same name, or malicious attempts to attach music to an artist\u2019s profile. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen that happens, it can impact your catalog, your stats, your Release Radar, and how fans discover your music,\u201d Spotify explains. \u201cWe know how frustrating this can be for both artists and fans alike and one of the top requests we\u2019ve heard from artists over the past year is that you want more visibility before music appears under your name.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spotify notes that while the new feature isn\u2019t necessary for every artist, it\u2019s designed for artists who have experienced repeated incorrect releases, have a common artist name, or want more control over what appears on their profile. <\/p>\n

Artists who are included in the beta will see the feature in their \u201cSpotify for Artists\u201d settings on desktop and mobile web. If they turn \u201cArtist Profile Protection\u201d on, they\u2019ll receive an email notification when music is delivered to Spotify with their name attached to it. From there, they can approve or decline the request. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
