Feature Request: Option to Block/Exclude Specific Artists on Spotify

Status: Live Idea
0 Likes

Hey everyone,

Lately, I've noticed that certain artists keep showing up in my playlists, recommendations, or even autoplay, despite my lack of interest in their music. Some artists just become pure annoyances over time, and I’d love to have an easy way to keep my listening experience clean and tailored to my taste.

Right now, Spotify has a "Don't play this artist" option on mobile, but it doesn’t always seem to work consistently across all devices and playlists. Plus, it's not available on desktop. I think it would be great if Spotify introduced a proper block feature where:

Selected artists are fully removed from playlists, autoplay, radio, and recommendations.

The block applies across all devices (mobile, desktop, smart speakers, etc.).

This feature is easy to manage, like a "blocked artists" list in settings.


I know I’m not the only one who finds certain artists irritating or overplayed. A more powerful filtering system would give users greater control over their listening experience.

Does anyone else feel the same way? Let’s get this on Spotify’s radar!

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Cheers!
