Hi, hope everyone's having a great day. So, when you're on an artist profile there's this section named "Appears On " where you can see featurings and apparitions of the artist on another artists's songs/projects.
I've been using that section/function for a while now and its always has been ordered by release date/year (from new to older).
But last week or so I checked it on some artist and now it has not an order, not by date neither alphabetical. Just random.
Someone know if that could be setted by me or does this happened for a reason? Or it will be restablished someday? I just wanna know what is going on because this new order it's basically useless. I can't look by year nor by name.
Regards and have a nice day!

Hey @Shaneboy,
Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community.
The Appears On shelf used to be sorted chronologically by release date, which resulted in recent compilation lists being the primary focus. It is now sorted by popularity, so more relevant content (e.g. the most frequently looked up content in connection with the particular artist) should be prioritized in the view.
Hope you'll find this info useful. Let us know if there's anything else we can help with.
Have a nice day!

Can you make it so that we have the option to see it in Date Order as well as Popular?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!

Hey @Mario, isn't this a moot point now that Spotify has revealed that what they claimed was first a bug, and then A/B user testing, was actually an intended change? They've completely removed the Appears On section and say it's not coming back. It's the reason I begrudgingly came back to Spotify after leaving, the last time they removed a large swath of features.
I saw the "the Appears On section is now ordered by popularity" solution and wished to confirm this. So I searched Post Malone's section, since he's one of the most popular mainstream artists of the last few years. And...that solution can't be true, can it? How are "Forever" and "Celebrate" more popular than "Jackie Chan" and "Homemade Dynamite (Remix)"? Regarding the latter two songs: 1) I heard them on the radio outside of Spotify, 2) They were more successful on the Billboard Hot 100 than the former two, and 3) They have more streams than the former two: 118 million and 52 million, vs. 594 million and 200 million. Or, I could point to "Sunflower" being behind "Forever" in the section, but clearly proving my above points.
...Spotify, please just give the option of ordering the Appears On section by release date again. Thank you.
For listeners of reggae and dancehall the change of order of the appears on section is devastating for listening to new music. Many dancehall artist release 90% of their songs on so called riddim albums with various artists. Spotify has never been able to display these songs in a good way as they end up in the appears on section. But now when the appears on section is no longer ordered in chronological order spotify is hopeless to use for keeping up with new dancehall releases. I start to use other platforms for that purpose and I suppose others who want to listen to new dancehall music do the same.
