R.E.M. returns Changing artist name to 'Don Toliver'

Open glepore70 opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

Searching for the band R.E.M. returns "Changing artist name to 'Don Toliver'" regardless of how I format the band name (the above is correct.) What is the correct syntax for finding this band?

Thanks.

I have the same issue: searching for the artist "AZ" returns artist name "Iggy Azalea", even though the allow_name_change is set to False. Any ideas?

Also have a look here (same issue):

Quote: Proposed solution I think a way to fix this is to not return the top hit, but instead check all the hits for type and to see if the 'id' matches the artist_name
