Adding an artist by name

Add one

  1. Open Artists and choose Add an artist.
  2. Search by name, or choose Enter a link or id instead and paste the Spotify link, for example open.spotify.com/artist/2aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTu.
  3. Pick the right profile. The list shows monthly listeners, followers and whether Spotify verified the profile, so you pick the one you mean.
  4. Confirm the rights, as below.

Confirm the rights

Every artist has to be confirmed before we watch it, so nobody can watch profiles that are not theirs.

  • Below one million monthly listeners, tick that you are the artist or authorized by them, and choose Add and confirm. Monitoring starts at once.
  • From one million on, you put a short code into the artist's Spotify biography. See Verify an artist.

How many you can add

Each plan watches a set number of artists: 1 on Free and Beginner, 3 on Artist, 15 on Pro and from 30 on Business. More can be added with an add-on of 5. See Plans.

When your plan is full, the newest artists are paused, not removed. They come back as soon as there is room and stay verified meanwhile.
