Removing a Song from Your Spotify Artist Profile
If you’re looking to remove a song from your Spotify artist profile, it’s essential to know the proper steps to ensure a smooth process.
Direct Removal Through Your Distributor
To remove a song, you’ll first need to go through your distributor. Here’s how to do it:
- Log into Your Distribution Platform: Platforms such as DistroKid, TuneCore, or CD Baby will be your starting point.
- Locate the Song: Find the track you wish to remove from your profile.
- Request a Takedown: Follow the distributor’s process to submit a takedown request.
Once your distributor processes this request, the song will be removed from your Spotify profile within a few days.
Important Considerations
Keep in mind that removing the track will take it down from all streaming platforms, not just Spotify.
Hiding a Song While Keeping It Live
If you prefer to hide the song from your artist page but want it to remain available for streaming, you will need to reach out to Spotify for Artist support. In some cases, they allow for collaborations or guest features to be separated from your main discography.
Consequences of Removal
Be aware that once a song is taken down, all play counts and saves associated with that track will be permanently lost. This means that any listens or views will no longer be available.
