Badges will be given to top artists on the platform, but there’s a list of criteria that has to be met in order to get one.
Artists must be a well-known and/or highly searched-for artist, collective, DJ, label, curator or podcaster, according to a blog post announcing the news. They must also have a unique profile, no misleading information, and each account must have a bio, profile photo, and one track uploaded.
