[Mobile] See all Songs on Artist Page

[TLuck]

Dear spotify,

First of all, thanks for your awesome service! I really enjoy my premium account on my desktop and iPhone version and use it at home and wherever I go. However there's something that bothers me often while searching for a song, especially on the iPhone version.

I often search for a song of a specific artist. So I use the search function and reach the artist's page. Once there, the app only shows the 5 most popular songs of the artist. But often the song I'm looking for is not listed there (maybe nr 6 on the list or lower). Now I have the option of searching through the albums, which can be quite time consuming, or try to use the search function again and hope to find it with a more specific combination of words (provided that I know anything more than the artist's name).

Now every time I get to this I'm thinking why can't I tap a button ('see all songs') which allows me to see all the artist's songs in a list? That is something I'm looking for intuitively. On the desktop version, the list of 5 can be extended to 10 most popular, but also here I'm thinking: why only 10?! Actually, the list I'm looking for can be brought up by the app already by playing the first song (while not in shuffle mode) and tapping the playlist icon. This brings up the kind of list I would like to see: all the artists songs I can just browse through. Only now I'm playing the first song, which I didn't want to hear at all.

Preferably, I would want to be albe to sort the list in order of popularity or alphabet.

Cheers!

There has been a total paradigm shift on how music artists release their sounds. Previously it was all about "singles" and "albums" but today, it is the song. An album only has relevance when it identifiers a period of creativity, producers, musicians, themes and so on and on. Some Spotify artists released based on a per song mode, ignoring albums. But albums can be very useful as well, allowing a bunch of songs to be collected together. Suppose there is an artist that you care about and want to hear everything they have released, that artists then releases 20 new songs,  if you didn't have albums you would have to add those songs 20 times. It is annoying is when an artists releases one song here and there and never collects those songs into an album. Then one needs to hunt and peck around to get  a solid collection of all that artists songs. I don't have an answer here but there needs to be some method to add a larger set of songs from an artist  who is no longer following the songs and albums paradigm.

1. I just came back to Spotify from YT music. I think they the overall experience of Spotify is better, but I'm really missing the option of listening to all songs from a selected artist.

I agree, I'd love to be able to sort by Songs. That way you could shuffle an artist's songs. It's bonkers to me that we're over a decade into Spotify and you still can't simply shuffle an artist's full discography.

My Question or Issue

Right now there is no way to - at a glance - see all the songs an artist has. You have to click the artist, then click on each individual disc they released to see songs.. JUST FOR THAT DISC.

I want to be able to see all the songs an artist has after clicking the artist profile. Please add this feature, seems basic enough

[rutowicz]

Wow, are they out of their minds? Nine years and still nothing. This is like the first feature which comes to my mind that every music player should have. Good job Spotify!

2015 spotify. Wake up, please. If you like an artist and want to listen to all his/her song it is nearly imposible. Some artist have an "this is <artistname>". But i think the artist itself makes those maps. Is it so hard to make this an default option for every artist?

Kind regards,

It's pretty disgraceful that this is not implemented yet, which means spotify is somehow making more money by not implementing it. From a development standpoint its a few hours work. Might try youtube music or tidal instead.

The only downside, at least for me, is that Spotify music suggestions are
way more accurate than YouTube's.

Sometimes it can be difficult to find a song by an artist if it isn't one of the 5 (or 10 on desktop) Popular songs on the artist page, and the album is unknown to the user. Similarly it can be difficult to locate a song when the title is forgotten, but may be recognized.

I propose that Spotify implement a "show all songs" button, that will show the band's discography ranked by popularity, without having to navigate through the albums.

This would allow easier access to songs that aren't the top Popular songs, and give increased visibility for less popular songs for a new listener of a particular band, without needing to search through albums in the discography.

Dear God yes please!

I love finding new, less popular artists on Spotify, but they usually don't have albums, just lots of singles. Trying to listen to all their songs is insanely time consuming (which doesn't make sense, because on  PC the Spotify app shows you ALL the songs of an artist in an expanded list, so you've already done this Spotify... Why don't you WANT to implement this?)
