The odd one for me is Pendulum - there’s two different Australian acts, both electronic, with the name Pendulum. For some reason the newer Pendulum really liked the name and weren’t bothered / ethically concerned that the Pendulum that made ‘Coma’ had already existed. As of today Spotify has songs from both artists under the same artist name.
- lukeh 5y agoPlenty of duplicate artist names, Spotify artist support will split them into separate artists if you contact them, and now aggregators like DistroKid let you specify the actual artist ID when uploading (at least for some DSPs). It’s just another instance of there are only two hard problems :)
- tomcam 5y agoYeah my favorite is definitely Pendulum.
- lukaslalinsky 5y agoThere are much worse things than Pendulum. John Williams seems a very popular name for artists. :) Back when I was designing the "new" MusicBrainz database, that's what we have been using as the test case for this.
