Spotify for Artists Reviews

by Lewielxrdd

I just released my debut album April 20th & the views was doing well but all of a sudden last night after the update it went from approx 20k streams back down to 16k then this morning when I woke up to check if it got fixed it was stuck at around 18,659 streams and that number has still been the same. Like Spotify is broken or something.... this hasn’t been the first time I have been short changed views. Fix this ASAP. I’m a legit artist. I don’t buy fake views I take pride in my craft. So please help.

for some reason I can’t add anything to the top of my profile now. i used to be able to add playlists at the top of my page no problem, now it brings me to a screen where it says select an image and it won’t even let me add an image and it won’t let me post without an image either. please fix this so I can get back to looking professional

The redesign is terrible. Functionality has been removed — like all-time play count — but not much has been added. Things have been shuffled around, and now I don’t know where they are.

Why do you designers do this?? In all honesty, it looks like you’re trying to justify your employment. I suppose that’s valid, but couldn’t you find something more constructive to do?

Design by numbers isn’t design. Doesn’t matter what the metrics say — if you’re a good designer and actually *use* the product (or speak with users), trust your intuition.

While I’m happy that I can see my stats here, the real thing I’d like to be able to do (and I’m sure many more artists would) is to be actually able to interact with current fans and help get to new ones by way of creating playlists as the artist and not just embed a playlist to your page (when you share it, shows the creator’s personal account and not yours) it would be great to also follow other bands as the artists page and to get notifications when someone follows me.

So far I have found little use for Spotify . Pretty disappointing..

I can't seem to claim my artist profile. I have to keep staring over and then it tries to have me link my twitter account and email. The end result is either one of two notifications, "something went wrong" or "sorry we couldn't find that page." I even tried using an alternate email. It's just not letting me claim my artist profile. I'm trying to get my blue check mark!

iOS app has been having issues not updating live stream counts. Streams were gained one day and then lost the next. Live persons listen and stream, but the stream itself isn’t counted on a live update. Also my recent single was released on the 18th and Spotify is to run the live for 7 days but quit only after 3 days.

As an artist, I thought this was going to be the jam session. And for the most part, it is. There needs to be some bug fixes. You can’t really do much as far as profile customization through Spotify , but, that was expected. I gave it a three out of five stars because there is definitely room for improvement. I will update my rating if anything changes. 🤘🏼

I like everything they’re offering on Spotify , but not everything works. Specifically adding your bio. I tried multiple times and when I finished typing it for submission, it would say “something went wrong, please try again later.”

Spotify is amazing and allows me to edit my creator profile! The probably is recently I cannot change photos, whether it’s change if my main profile picture, adding a picture to a artists pick, or swapping around picture in my picture gallery at the bottom. Please fix this. Please.

Well it was working fine at first real smooth until today where it’s just magically logged me out my account and when I try to log back in it’s telling me too access my artist account. Okay I try that and now I don’t have access to my account? How is that? I’m using the same exact email, log in however you may have it I’m very disappointed & I just dropped a project. Total let down !

When I review my stats with Spotify, I often find myself wanting to compare one release to my pst released in a variety of ways. Spotify *almost* provides this but the lack of ability to set specific time windows kills it. The time filter options they provide are either today, this week, this month, or 5 YEARS. Lol what a strange feature.

Everything analytically is awesome when you Release a fresh wrk for the first 7 days. You can see your monthly listeners which updates each day, and your live stream count which is awesome. What’s stupid is that the live stream count goes away after day 6. So it becomes horribly off count and laggy and you never know what your accurate stats are in real time anymore. It’s gonna be like 3-4 days behind which is TRASH. Such an idiot development

by Jameirkgolden

I hate that you changed were the listeners section is and why can we not view our streams live after 7 days we should be able to still seem them so we can have accurate information and I hate that we can't interact with fans on your platform to help ourself grow I feel their is a lot lacking in terms of tools for the artist I have 20k monthly listeners but for smaller artist it's nearly impossible to grow if your not Playlisted but Spotifys algorithm

Here’s the deal. LOTS of issues and bugs. You can’t edit your profile images, bio, or pick correctly every time. I have issues with adding pictures to my bio the most. They never show up and it sometimes removes all my pictures. It also doesn’t remember my picks and forgets them and they disappear. When I go to add an image to a pick, a lot of the time the image won’t show up. If these little issues were fixed, I’d rate this 5 stars for sure! :)

Every time I try to upload a photo I always get an error stating, "Gallery Not Updated: Something went wrong and we weren't able to update your gallery. Please try again." I always try again and the same error appears. I hope you all can fix this error soon.

Spotify keeps crashing everytime I open it. Like it doesn’t even open anymore I’m not sure what’s happening but while it was working it was a good app I like how I’m able to change my profile picture and and my bio and stuff like that even though it takes a little while to change it still does so that’s cool. But right now I can’t seem to get into Spotify can you please fix this

by Eliseeekennedy

I’m willing to change my review once the situation is handled BUT my play count for a new release that’s not even close to 7 days old decreased in plays AND froze while it’s still “live”.

UPDATE: I actually lowkey love the updated app . But please fix the play count issue. Milestones are so important for artists just starting out.

I love this so much, you can see how many watches it has gotten and it has stats as well as editing your bio! You get to customize your artist picture and artist pick. But I do wish that every artist would be able to have the chance to post a canvas to it, and don’t get me wrong you can submit access to get a canvas but not sure how long that’ll take😕 but otherwise it is awesome and I am so glad to have this and keep track on how I am doing so download this it’s great!!!

by Grapemansoda

Super helpful, especially as a new artist. It gives you live stats for the first couple days, fun to check it occasionally and see how your doing. After that you get them daily, I would love a way to interact/thank my followers as my fan base grows. Other then that Spotify does exactly what I need. Check out my music if your into rap/trap.

Spotify is essential for any artist major or indie as it is customer tailored to you as an artist. Insights into who’s playing your music as long as where coupled with little extras like gender and age range of listeners makes this a great tool for all artist it’s helped me a lot I’ve been able to refocus my target market and I’m seeing great results. 5 Stars!

by MIXMASTERTRIX

It’s OK it allowed me to write my bio it does that good at least LOL but it doesn’t do much more I mean you can post your playlists so people can see what you’ve been listening to you can post your favorite top song or album or favorite playlist and then you can write your bio. Basically that’s about it. But it does that good LOL you have to install Spotify if you want to write your bio and your playlists and your top pick (your absolute favorite song or album) there’s no other way to do this so you have to download Spotify, at least to do that and if you want you can erase it after that.

I’m having trouble editing/changing my photos in the image gallery section. I can do everything else, edit bio, change main photo, add playlists. This is a 4 star app at best (say my problem was fixed) it still has a long way to go for a mobile app.

by Ryan Williford

This is a great app for a great service but having no landscape support for iPads is a missed opportunity in my opinion. Otherwise this allows for mobile viewing of stats from SFA.

I love Spotify and it helps me personalize my band in a lot of ways, though I can’t seem to edit my bio. I’ve even tried on my bandmates phone and it gave me the same error report. It’s very frustrating.
