Browsing an Artist

rickaltman59 — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 18:01:17 GMT

I enjoy getting to know new artists and I make generous use of Spotify's search function. When I want to get to know an artist, I want to be able to hear all of their songs; unfortunately, when I click the Artist to see their work, I am presented with five songs. The SEE MORE button presents me with five additional songs.

I want to see all of their songs!

I don't want to have to sift through albums or singles -- I just want one long list of an artist's songs. That shouldn't be so hard to do, but up until now, I haven't found any way to do it. What am I missing??

Hi @rickaltman59,

Thanks for posting in the Spotify Community, and welcome!

Unfortunately, at the moment there isn’t a way to see one list of all an artist’s songs via their artist page.

However, there are currently a couple of similar Live Ideas in the Idea Exchange, that you may be interested in voting for:

This Live Idea for the mobile app to show all songs by an artist on their artist page (even though the current status of this idea is “Not Right Now”)
This Live Idea for reinstating a full chronological artist discography for the desktop app, with all tracks listed out from each release

If either of these ideas sound of interest, I would recommend adding your +VOTE to them; the more votes an idea gets, the likelier it is that Spotify will implement it, and you can read more about how feedback on ideas reaches Spotify here.

Let me know if you have any other questions, and have a good day!

I will upvote that idea right now, thank you! I have to admit, though, to being a bit mystified as to why this isn't an obvious part of the interface. I can't think of anything more fundamental to exploring artists than being able to listen to (all of) their songs.
