Release Error: Artist on Spotify watch list
Updated over 8 months ago

If you get the following error, it means that the artist name you are using is the same as one of another well-known artist:

The artist '[ARTIST NAME]' is on a Spotify watch list. Please email support to confirm that you have the rights to distribute material with this artist.

Unfortunately, Spotify will not allow us to release your songs under this name unless you are the artist they have on their watchlist. Please reach out to [email protected] and we can help you edit your artist name so that you can release songs.
