I'm not entirely sure what causes last.fm to take action but my assumption is either direct, high profile, artist request (king crimson comes to mind) or high user request are key. Dixie Chicks has a much higher weekly listener count than Lady Antebellum does so I'm fairly certain users were more vocal to have it fixed. Another potential reason that Last is not exactly swift in fixing Lady A it is the whole name conflict that arose when they made the announcement. My thought is that the Lady A comment section could be a dumpster fire and it doesn't help that singular Lady A doesn't really have a high play count of music (I checked current and historical stats everywhere during the name change events) which probably doesn't make any of it look good for anyone. There's other artist that cause name problems on last.fm, Birdshit being the most recent one I scrobbled that's funny. In real time it scrobbles as Birdshit and the recent log shows that, but it's archived as Birdman. Fun times

Breaking! Fellow Colleagues Rascal Flatts have opted to change their name dues to an implication that their name may imply that the earth is flat. Their new name from now on will be Rascal Spherre

This ain't on the trio. They admitted ignorance of the Lady A alias of Anita White and apologized. This is on BLMG Records for giving them a one-off rebrand chance and refusing to invest money to rebrand a second time, opting instead to suit White on behalf of Lady A. Likely signed to NDA clause to not "slander" the record label, i.e., speak openly any further about the copyright issue.

Lady Antebellum was the name of the American country trio that changed its name to Lady A on 11 June 2020, amid the George Floyd protests. Antebellum refers to architcture from the civil war period, and to slavery

Is the "A" in "Lady A" short for "Assholes"? https://news.avclub.com/after-suing-a-black-soul-singer-for-her-stage-name-lad-1845866720

How disgusting this band changed their name in support of #BLACKLIVESMATTER movement then sue the BLACK singer that had used the name over decades.

They better not make me lose all my scrobbles because of their PR stunt. I'm pretty sure NO ONE ever got offended by the "Antebellum", let's be honest.

Note that the currently redirected artist profile for Lady A will also have to be shared with another female blues vocalist from Seattle using this artist name for a much longer time, her real name is Anita White. See e.g. this Rolling Stone article: https://www.rollingstone.com/pro/news/lady-antebellum-lady-a-country-blues-1013919/

not to be confused with the other Lady A that released the hottest album of 2014

Right, there also is a R&B singer and a rapper with that name which are not mentioned in the Rolling Stone article. Wikis of redirected artist profiles cannot be edited on Last.fm at the moment, so I will add this info in the shoutbox of Lady A: https://www.last.fm/music/+noredirect/Lady+A

So uh... let's ask the most important question: what's going to happen to my 58 scrobbles?

Next thing you know, they won't like how changing their last name has some weird disconnected way of implying Lady's have to change their names when they get married.

My initial thought on hearing the news was Lady Freedom. But i've actually been leaning more recently to Lady America

I suspect they won't do anything until the band actually plasters that name on a new album

My band Hearth has the same name as another Hearth on here. Last.fm combined us with them as well. We messaged last.fm a while ago about it and said they're working on fixing it this year. Hopefully this is true, but who knows.

2 years later, I suspect your sitch hasn't changed and the Lady Whatever sitch is still a dumpster fire

That's a very last.fm result. Still don't even have some of the stuff prior to the design revamp. For artists, implementing something similar to what discogs has would seem achievable and within grasps but I guess not

Пожалуй, лучшая современная группа в своём жанре. На последней паре альбомов как-то подрасслабились, но первые альбома три-четыре просто великолепны. "Own The Night", особенно!
