Album is credited to wrong artist.

Hi

Melanie Safka, big in the 1970ies. Artist name Melanie. Have an album ”Photography” that I couldn’t find on Apple Music Sweden. Google found it under an Arab singer called Melanie in Apple Music. So I guess the wrong artist get the royalties. It’s a great album , forgotten. By an ignored artist. A joke that she isn’t in the Hall of fame.

How do I make Apple aware of their mistake? (Not the first one. According to Apple The Band had a new release a few years ago. But it ain’t them )

thanks

Mikael,

I also suggest that you reach out and advise Melanie and/or her label of the issue, perhaps starting at https://www.melaniesafka.com/ . The situation you describe may be innocent confusion between similarly named artists (which is very common, especially for mononym artist names), or it may be an actual intellectual property dispute. Either way, the label needs to straighten it out.

You can use Feedback - iTunes - Apple. Whether or not they act on it is another matter. It is up to the rights holders to manage their content and make sure it is listed correctly when they upload it.
