How Does Spotify Decide Which Songs to Recommend in My Playlists?

[markwoody]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been really curious about how Spotify decides which songs to include in personalized playlists like Discover Weekly, Release Radar, or even Daily Mixes. Sometimes the recommendations are spot-on, and other times they feel completely random.

Does anyone know how much weight Spotify gives to things like listening history, skips, likes, or playlist additions?
Also, is there any way to influence the recommendations more directly?

Would love to hear your thoughts or any insights you've come across!

Thanks in advance.
