There is a song on your platform (aka a "track") called T.T.TM. If I search for "T.T.TM" with or without quotes your platform doesn't pull it up. You know what that reminds me of? Sp0tify. You know why? Because that's terrible. You're prioritizing popularity over accuracy. The song IS on your platform so why can't I FIND IT when I search for exactly the NAME of it and go to "track"?

Searching "DJ Tanuki" pulls up SIXTEEN unrelated artists before the actual artist I'm looking for. You are hurting small artists.

Putting it quotes pulls up 3 unrelated artists, two show up before the artist in quotes. Searching Tanuki doesn't pull the artist up at all. This is all with the artist filter enabled mind you. Same for the album, pulls up ridiculously unrelated albums before the correct album. Error correction should happen AFTER the matching results are shown. I won't pay for this, and I can't trust any playlists you generate for me because they're clearly weighted for what YOU want me to hear. For a free service I understand, the artists pay for their spots. But I pay YOU to play me the music I want to hear.

Hi ​@DeeDeezer what’s the name of the artist? If it is in our platform as you mentioned, have you been able to find so you could share the URL with us?
Thanks
