Deezer needs to fix a lot of songs in wrong Artist pages

Every week, in my playlist of new releases, fake new songs from artists I follow appear, either because they are miscategorized and belong to another artist with a similar name, or because they are fake songs.
This is starting to be very annoying, as it happens every week even with very well known artists.
Ā 

For example, this week in my ā€˜new releasesā€™ playlist it appeared one ā€˜new songā€™ from MIKA, but itā€™s not from him:

Ā 

It has also happened with another Spanish known artist called ā€˜CHANELā€™ which I follow her:

And there are A LOT of fake songs in her profile/artist page:

This has also happened this week with another fake song linked to the international artist 'Alida':

I have been using the 'Report a problem' option from the web version of Deezer for many months now, but this problem is still not fixed (I wish this reporting option was also on the mobile app).

Please, we need a solution urgently to all these problems, because lately using Deezer has been very frustrating.

Thank you

This actually happens on all platforms. Some are just faster at solving these issues. We can do our part by reporting them or submitting a Deezer support ticket. I can usually get them to fix the artists I follow within a few days.

I have the same ā€œproblemā€ with the Monday releases. To the point I donā€™t even take a look at the Monday releases any more.

For example: hardrock band Grand. The name is too common, there are many many more that are using the same name.

In Deezer:

The page is with so many other artists that arenā€™t this Grand.

In YTM:

Close, almost good.

Tidal is also a mess with Grand.Ā 

The only one that does it correct is Spotify:

But likeĀ @MarcormarkĀ is saying, this happens on most of the steaming services.

Iā€™ll keep on reporting it.
