Artist page listing releases of 5 artists with the same name

Hello,

I have come across the artist page Aer (https://www.deezer.com/de/artist/83434) which should be about an artist I very much like.

However on this page are listed about 5 different artists that all have the same name.

I have opened a support ticket before but seem to unfortunately be unable to communicate the issue to the agent, or maybe he is an AI. Unfortunate as I had good experiences before. Anyways, I hope I can raise the issue here.

I believe the most popular “Aer” that probably this artist page should be about is responsible for all releases between 2010 and 2016. All the other releases are from different artists with different musical styles and languages.

 

Thank you so much in advance

Hi ​@naibafo !

On Deezer, artists with the same name are often grouped under one profile because the platform’s automated matching system uses inconsistent or imprecise metadata from distributors to assign content. When multiple artists share a name, the algorithm merges their work, creating a "mixed-up" discography. 

You can :
Report the Issue: Users can report this on the Deezer Community Forum or directly to the music team.
Contact Distributor: Artists need to ask their distributor (e.g., DistroKid, Tunecore) to redeliver the music under the correct unique profile. 

While frustrating, this issue occurs across many streaming platforms when artists do not have a unique name. Manual corrections are needed for cases where the algorithm fails to distinguish between them.

Hi ​@Nina Nebo 

Reporting the issue on the community forums is exactly what I am trying to do with this thread. I am aware of this big thread here: 

 However I don’t seem to have permissions to post there with my account.

I am also aware how to report an issue through the app. But with a mashed together artist page with many different artists, singles, albums etc that is not very clear and so far nothing has changed for reports I did back in December, so I thought I would try here :)
