Get us out of algorithm jail! How about a “Songs you may like” curated playlist by Spotify

[Zhynes]

I am stuck in Spotify algorithm jail. And based off the other posts in this community it seems this is a common complaint. 

All playlists and song radio stations recommend the same songs over and over again. I don’t care that you know what I like, Spotify. Everyone on this platform can take 15 mins and make the same playlist you’re algorithm is now making. 

Let’s go back to way it was. Give me artists/songs/genres suggestions you think I may like. Broaden my musical horizons. Let me enjoy this app again. Cause right now we are all paying for a service that is being “safe” and lazy. 

I will end on an example, just in case my issue is not clear. I’ve listened to misery business by paramore about 1 year ago. Spotify now thinks this is my most favourite song of all time. Now I can’t escape it. It’s in all of my daily playlist. And is added to song radio stations. Sometimes even when I choose a rap song. Give me something new. Stop being safe. Let me explore.

This is a HUGE problem and is getting more and more frustrating. I clicked on radio for Manuscript by Taylor Swift, and the Wizard and I from Wicked was the second song on this "radio" station. Spotify, this needs to change. I want a RADIO station, not all of the various songs that I've ever liked combined into one playlist every time I try to find new music.

Music Wave is a set of recommendations that are updated in real time and for each user individually, taking into account their interests. By pressing just one button, you can listen to music endlessly and constantly encounter different music. Russian music streaming programs already have this feature, for example, "My Wave" in "Yandex music" and "Vk mix" in "Vk music"

Couldn’t agree more!

I love Spotify as a platform, but the AI/algorithm generated playlists only include songs/artists I've heard hundreds of times. It's impossible to find songs/artists I haven't heard. Every playlist/radio/whatever is just songs I've heard tons of times.

I've started using Youtube music since it will actually mix in new music. Not all of its good, but I've discovered so much more new music in a week than Spotify has suggested in years. At this point I might as well cancel my Spotify premium and just use my Youtube premium. 

I prefer Spotify, but I can't figure out how to make its music suggestions more "loose"...
