FYI, for Spotify if you select an artist as "Primary Artist" it shows artist name at the release level and places the release amongst artist's discography.
If you select "Featuring", "Performer", or "With" it shows the artist name at the track level and doesn't show up in artist's discography, it only shows in artists "Appears On" section
