Release Radar messed up

Release Radar messed up

Hi. In the past I've listened to several tracks for relaxing (frequencies). Usually 1 track that lasts several hours, so not endless playlists.

Now, my Release Radar is completely messed up, suggesting me more and more relax tunes, even though I don't listen to them for a prolongued amount of time now. And my regular listening behaviour is very different (as represented in my yearly wrap correctly). 

Every week I flag those track in the release radar, saying to not suggest them. And also pressing the - button. Still, this genre takes over my playlist on a weekly basis. What can I do to fix this?

Hi there @Hoofmark, 

 

Thanks for reaching out!
 

Ultimately, just like other auto-generated playlists, the Release Radar is based on your past music habits. While yes, it includes music from artists you follow, new releases from similar artists are also added in. The more you listen to your favorite content, the better recommendations you'll get. 

 

You can save your favorite content by clicking on the plus (+) icon and this will help the suggested playlists/albums to be updated so it can include more personalized results. Keep in mind that the content shown in the Discover section can vary, and it depends on different factors like your recently played content, listening habits and content that other users with similar taste listen to.

 

We also suggest activating a Private Session when you want to listen to the relaxing frequencies you've mentioned. That way the content you'd listened to at that moment wouldn't feed your algorithm. You can find more info on how to activate a Private Session here.
