How to Fix a Release on the Wrong TIDAL Artist Page
Open the artist page that currently shows your release in the TIDAL web player or desktop app. Choose Report and pick the option that matches a misplaced release. Save the release URL and both artist page URLs so you can show where the release is now and where it belongs.

Key takeaways
- Copy the affected release URL and label the current and intended artist pages.
- Start the report from the page that currently has your release.
- Request a merge only for duplicate pages that belong to the same artist.
Identify which page has your release
Open the exact single, EP or album on TIDAL. Follow the artist credit to the page it opens. Then find an older release you know is on your page and follow that credit. If both pages have the same name, compare the URLs and a known release on each page. The search result name on its own won’t tell you which page you have open.
Keep the affected release URL, both artist page URLs and the title as delivered. I’d also keep the distributor’s release record handy: use the UPC for the release or ISRC for the recording if support asks for another way to identify it. If the wrong artist credit also appears in your delivery record, have your distributor check the credit before treating it as a TIDAL page problem.
Choose the correction that matches the problem
| What you see | What to ask for | |
|---|---|---|
| Move a release | Your single is on another artist’s page. You have a separate correct page. | Move the named release from the current page to your page. |
| Separate two artists | One page has releases by two different artists with the same name. | Ask about a profile split and list the releases that belong to you. |
| Merge duplicate pages | Two pages contain releases by the same artist or project. | Request a merge only if you want one page to close. Say which page should stay. |
Followers on a closed profile do not transfer, according to TIDAL. Before choosing a merge, open the pages and check which URL you use on your site, in your press kit and in fan links. For a mix-up involving other services too, start with the guide to artist-name conflicts on streaming platforms.

From the wrong page to a verified fix
- 01
Open
Start on the current artist page
Open the profile where the release is listed and select Report. Choose the closest match to the issue.
- 02
Describe
Name the release and destination
Label each link. Say whether you want a release moved, two artists separated, or your duplicate pages merged.
- 03
Follow up
Keep the details together
Save what you sent. If the menu doesn’t have a matching option, use the Artist Support form and mention the earlier report if there is one.
- 04
Check
Follow the artist credit again
Open the public release. Check that the credit leads to the intended page and that the wrong page no longer lists the release.
The synth duo Lake Voltage opens its single Low Battery and the artist credit goes to a different Lake Voltage. The duo checks its older release, Half Light, to confirm the destination. In the report: “Please move only Low Battery [release URL] from [current artist URL] to [correct artist URL, which lists Half Light]. These are different artists.”
Once the change shows up, have someone who hasn’t been working on the report follow the link from your release announcement. Ask them to open the artist credit and read back the page URL. If several tracks were affected, check each one before you close the issue.

Frequently asked questions
Can I report a wrong artist page from the TIDAL mobile app?+
TIDAL says content reports are available in its web player and desktop app. Save the links on your phone if you find the problem there, then open the artist page in one of those two places to report it.
What if I don't have a correct TIDAL artist page yet?+
Say so in the report. Give TIDAL the release and the page where it appears, and explain that the names belong to different artists. If the music is mixed together, ask TIDAL about separating the catalogues.
Will a TIDAL profile merge move my followers?+
TIDAL says followers on closed profiles do not transfer. If both pages are yours, include the URL you want to keep. If they belong to different artists, report a mapping or split issue instead.
Should I take the release down and upload it again?+
Start with a correction request for the live release. A takedown removes it without resolving which artist page it belongs on. If the delivered credit itself is wrong, ask your distributor to check the submission before you make a new delivery.
