confused – given a track uri, I can get one album but possibly more than one artists (refer to sp_track_album and sp_track_artist). But given an album, I usually get only one artist. So if I get the album from track uri and then get the artist from album, there would be one artist; if I get the artist directly from track uri, there may be more than one artists. How to explain the difference?
Thanks.
Have a look at this album in the Spotify client:
spotify:album:0MYABBSxz6JqujXq2JBvsFThe artist for that album is “Rihanna”.
Some of the tracks on the album are by more than one artist, like “We Found Love” features both Calvin Harris and Rihanna.
An album can only ever be by one artist, while tracks can feature multiple artists. A compilation album typically has an artist of “Various Artists”.
