Go back in Radio selection

It's annoying when you listen to the Radio and that you can't go back to see the Artist. You just can go forward.

It will be good when it could be changed. Because sometimes you over see the Artist and can't go back to play them. 

 

Good news, this is now implemented! If you hear a great song while listening to a Spotify Radio station you can now go back to get the details. Thanks for your ideas everyone!

Being an old Rdio user, in their radio feature, you were able to skip backwards and replay songs already played during station session. I find myself skipping through songs quickly and accidentally passing a song i like, or wanting to replay a song. To me it seems this would be easy to implement, especially on the mobile platform, as there is a replay button grayed out in the radio feature.

Amazing.  After about 10 of these:

<song ends>
"that was a good song, what was it?"
....<poking around>...
"hmmm, I can't figure out how to go back or see the previous title"
....<poking around>...
"I must be blind"
....<poking around>...
"how the heck do I SEE THE LAST TITLE?"
"Rdio lets you see it, Slacker lets you see it, where the heck is it in Spotify?!"

So finally, I give up looking for what I'm sure must be there, and I google it,
and Whaaaa?! ... it's not possible?!   Are you kidding me?! ... Why?!  
Spotify is so awesome in so many ways.  But this is bizarre.  
Is Malu05 really an employee? ... he says "why on earth?"  ... seriously dude?

I'm a developer.  I was sure it had to be in there somewhere.  
Could you please add it?  ...

Ideally, I would like to be able to go back and play the last song, but in the least, adhering to the radio metaphor, I would like to see what it was and rate it.  

Or maybe there is some sort of history already and I just can't find it.  

Thank you

I found it extremely annoying I couldn't backtrack and view previous songs in the album art carousel thingy but found out I could view all the songs the radio had played from the very start (since yesterday when I began using spotify) by clicking play queue on the left panel and clicking history in the center top panel.

I'd really like this as well.

Seriously, how can Spotify not have implemented this?  It seems incredibly obvious.  It's infuriating to not be able to see what song was just played.

 

Edit:  I'm speaking about the web client.  I understand there's a history tab on the desktop application, but I use the web client is my browser at work.

lack of back on Android finally drove me back to Google Play music. This is a must have feature and a no brainer. With Google Play music and bluetooth streaming in my car I can use the buttons on my steering wheel to skip forward and back songs when driving. Using spotify if I skip or pass over a song thefe is no way to go back.
