A single performer may be backed by many authors, which is why most streaming services now display detailed credits. This is part of a broader initiative to enrich metadata and improve content discovery — benefiting both creators and listeners.
Thanks to this, users can more easily find music they’re likely to enjoy. And that’s great!
Providing full legal names also helps ensure accurate royalty collection and avoid potential conflicts or disputes with other rights holders.
While listing real names for authors is required, they won’t appear on the release’s main page or in search results. They’ll only be shown in the Credits section on some streaming platforms, where detailed release info is listed.
