Add all of an Artist's Songs

There should be a button to add all of the songs an artist has released into a playlist. This would take so much less time than trying to add album by album by EP by single.

Yes please can we have this. Just add it to those 3 dots (...) when visiting an arists page. Have an option to "add artist to playlist". This should add everything from that artist to a chosen playlist.

 

Thanks!

 

Other streaming services have this feature perfected, Spotify would have ZERO competition if they finally jumped on board! "Add artist to playlist" is the one major feature I used the most on Slacker. Having to go from album to album, song to song is tedious not to mention ridiculous. What if I wanted to make a Michael Jackson/Jackson 5 playlist? We're talking 40 years worth of music, with this feature I could have that with a tap of a button! As we currently stand though, that would take hours going through song by song...

I built a free app to solve this:  playlisttools.com

 

You can quickly add all of an artists tracks to a new or existing playlist, filter out certain types of albums, or add an artist's top tracks.

 

Enjoy!

The ability to create a playlist featuring selected artists should be table stakes.  This is the one feature missing from Spotify that has me considering going back to Pandora.

I couldn't agree more and I would like to see a Moderator or Developer or somebody from Spotify respond to this thread and give us a time in which this can be expected to be implemented! Luckily, for now, playlisttools.com does this.

I took a different approach than the playlisttools.com app (which is great!) If you're interested in just generating a playlist from the 10 most popular songs (according to Spotify) of a selection of your Followed Artists, you can use https://followersplaylist.com, no cost or anything. Helped me create a hefty playlist of all the Artists I Follow.

Great idea and masterfully executed!  Bookmarked.  Thanks

Mods, any update on this?

Hello, Spotify Team! I'm a user for a while now, and I love the app, can't live without it. I would like to suggest a feature that I think might be huge, at least for me. Lately, I've been trying to create some different kind of playlists that didn't contain only songs but albums or artists. I wish I could create a playlist with my favorite albums and list them so that I can click and be redirected to the album page. The same thing with artists. I don't think it's a difficult feature to launch, plus this might become a great tool to spread more recommended music and artists to users, for example: "Fresh New R&B Artists" or "New Album Releases" etc. Thank you!
