absolutely ridiculous that this is still an issue, not only on this page but every page that hosts multiple artists. genuinely asking, is it really that hard of a fix?

Luna will not always be a Polish singer with one song in a Eurovision that should have, in any case, been boycotted. All things must pass.

Polska Luna zdaje się być dość 'świeża', więc nie dziwię się miejscu na liście w anglojęzycznej wersji. Polską wiki możesz zedytować sam(a) wedle życzenia.

why is the US band that formed basically before the first two were even born listed third on here? there are also so many photo downvotes on account of the others' fans, presumably.

honestly if you have pro or scrobble with local files and you're listening to f(x) luna you should switch to scrobbling her name in hangul it's just as official as the romanized version no need to fight over a tag when we have an alternative and make people even more irked at kpop listeners

For what it's worth, I am noticing that on the "Similar Artists" list, at least on my end, I'm seeing Dean & Britta, Dean Wareham, Galaxie 500, Yo La Tengo, Mercury Rev, and the Clientele. The first three of those involve Dean Wareham, the lead singer and principal songwriter of Luna, while the other three, it's fair to say, have enormous audience overlap with the American Luna. So it seems that Luna, the American band, has older, more established and deeper ties other artists than the Korean, Ukrainian, and other Lunas out there. They certainly have a deeper back catalog than all these other Lunas combined. My preference would be to merely keep this page for the American Luna, and separate out the other Lunas into their own pages, (such as "Luna (Korean singer)"). Alternatively, we could also just kill this page, and create a new page for "Luna (US band)". Either way this whole thing is kind of ridiculous, that in 2023, Last.fm still hasn't figured out how to solve this problem.

It's nice to see them play again. Would be amazing to go to one of their shows.

One would think... I mean, they could tie the actual singles and albums to the correct Lunas. Then again, maybe this is the kind of thing that would take a full-site rebuild, and that could be more involved and expensive than any of us realize.

Interesting... So someone at last.fm presumably is aware of this problem and is trying, however tepidly, to address the issue. I was thinking there could be some kind of filter they could have where, say, I might be playing Luna's Bewitched LP, so I see "Luna" on my native software as the artist, but what gets triggered on the last.fm site would be a page that said something like "Luna (US band)".

I think there might have already been an artist or band with the name "Luna" even prior to Dean Wareham's band, which is why the earliest printings of "Lunapark" are technically credited to "Luna2" (with the number "2" ultra tiny). But certainly, no one else performing under that name achieved anything like Dean Wareham's version of Luna's level of critical acclaim in the 90s and 00s, so that might entitle them to be the first Luna listed. I'm tempted to say it should just be chronological, but if the earlier version(s) of Luna were ultra obscure, it'd make more sense to start with Dean Wareham.

Hey, no need for hate here. I'm pretty indifferent to K-pop, and yes, it bugs me that one of my favorite bands has to share this page with some rando K-pop singer I never heard of before. But we shouldn't begrudge people for their tastes.

all these Lunas should all get together and form a supergroup called Luna where all the members are called Luna
