Music buyers search by artist + album exact-match. Listings with wrong artist attribute = invisible.

The 3 highest-impact fixes for Music listings

1. Artist attribute filled exactly (no abbreviations)

Walmart matches artist field exactly. 'The Beatles' is a different filter from 'Beatles, The'.

2. Release year as a separate attribute

Helps buyers filter reissues from originals.

3. Format attribute filled (Vinyl LP / CD / Cassette)

Format-specific filters dominate music SERPs.
