Two same artist accounts on aplle music?

Hi! I just uploaded a new single to my artist account via Distrokid (changed nothing, all is set like every time before) and the new single (is published) doesn´t show up under my artist account. If you scroll down to "artists", a second, likewise named artist shows up (which is also me..) where the single is filed under. What went wrong? How can I "merge" both or delete the new one, or is it just a syncronization issue?? Please help!!

iPhone 8, iOS 13

Home Music is Created as Duplicates:

Home music would be combined and added to a purchased album. You are seeing this twice because it is the same name, but two different artists (you and the official artist).


A. Deleting Via iTunes:

If you want to delete duplicates directly through iTunes, you’ll have to do so individually, one at a time:

Go Here:

  1. Open: iTunes
  2. Go To: File Menu
  3. Select: Library
  4. Choose: Show Duplicate Items
  5. Select: One if these Duplicates
  6. Go To: File menu
  7. Select: Song to Delete (One at a Time)
  8. Select: Delete


B. Deleing Via Third Party Apps:

I’d say go about using a third party app is best when it comes to manually managing multiple songs. Go Here: 7 Best iTunes Duplicate Removers for Mac and PC (Free Ones Included) - Cisdem

No, you got me wrong. I AM the official artist (AEONS PASS). I uploaded several singles in the past, all to my account, only this time it got uploaded to a second same-name account...

If I search for AEONS PASS, I got shown all my songs I uploaded in the past. If I want to see/hear my NEW single, I have to scroll to the bottom where there is another aritst AEONS PASS (me obviously) with my new single...

Maybe Distrokid screwed up while uploading??
