Good news for artists on Spotify:

As an artist, you no longer need to fill out a separate form to get verified on Spotify — all you need is access to your profile via Spotify for Artists.

The new tool allows artists to update images, make picks, add playlists and access Fan Insights all in the same place.

Here's the good part: you no longer need 250 followers to become verified.
