Radio of a specific artist isn't working

talmaweitzner — Wed, 28 Jul 2021 08:19:37 GMT

Hello,

I really like the radio feature in Spotify!

Along with this, there is one specific artist that I really like in which the radio feature isn't working. When I try it on her songs or artist page, I get a message 'couldn't find playlist'.

This artist name is Yorda.

I have a Premium account. It happens in my android as well as on my PC.

Thank you for your help

Hey @talmaweitzner,

Just wanted to jump in to clarify that for a Radio playlist to be generated, the artist needs to have a minimum required number of monthly listeners so the algorithm can match it with similar artists listened by other users with a similar taste.

This seems to be the case for this artist in particular, so it's expected that a Radio playlist can't be generated and that's why that error message comes up.

Hope you find this info useful. If you need a hand with anything else, the Community is here for you.

Have a lovely day 🙂

Thanks!

Do you know what are the criterias for a song to have the radio feature enabled?

Thank you

Hi again @talmaweitzner,

Thank you for your reply.

We've checked backstage and this can happen due to the fact there aren't any similar artists listed for the one you mentioned.

This and the fact that it's the similar artists that are used to build the track pool for artist/song radio should shed some light on what you reported.

Hope you'll find this info useful. In the meantime, we'll be here if there's anything else we can help with.

Cheers!

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you. Who needs to list the similar artists? Is it the artist herself? Or is it done by Spotify automatically?

Regards

Hi @talmaweitzner,

Thank you for getting back in touch.

This is not done from the Artist side, but from Spotify's. You can read more about how it works in this article.

Let us know if we can help you with anything else 🙂

Take care!

Hi Ver,

Unfortunately, I've sent more than 10 emails and I only got back automatic answers from them.

Would it be possible to have a technical team review the artist page?

thanks in advance.
