Artist's Albums and EPs are Missing from their Artist Page

Your artist pages aren’t all structured the same. I’ve noticed this several times and most recently was on Nosaj Thing’s artist page and none of their albums are shown anywhere. You do have their albums on your platform, though. Why are they not shown on the album page like other artists? Please fix this.

The same problem here: The following albums should also appear on this profile page: https://www.deezer.com/us/artist/145647:

 

Solences entire discography apart from the newest Single releases are missing… there is not a single album on their artist page.

 

However, I can find these releases via search:

 

I don’t know how many times it has to be said: If an album is linked to a specific artist then just SHOW it on their goddamn artist page. And if some label marked something as “not important” then stop not showing it at all, at least make it accessible via the artist page somehow. Add a “show all albums unfiltered” button or something. Just SOMETHING.

I’ve missed entire albums of bands and artists that I didn’t even know existed because they are not on the artist page. What’s the point of this? I’m so close to going back to Spotify just because of this crap, even though your recommendation algorithm is a million times better.

@dasfrodo this is happening because some of the albums (more like all of them apart from those 2 singles you provided) are marked as “NON_OFFICIAL”. They will never be visible on the artist’s page unless they are manually marked as “OFFICIAL” by the metadata team.

When you visit any artist’s page, only official albums are visible; non-official ones are hidden. However, there is a solution to bypass it and show “ALL” albums, both official and non-official. The result looks like this:

I think I will make a tutorial on how to achieve it.

 

@Random007 I know why this is happening, I’ve read the thread. It is still absolutely braindead to not at least give me, as a user, the possibility to just ignore that Metadata and show everything that is associated with the artist. I can CLEARLY see it on the platform, so it’s not hidden. It’s just not visible on the artist page.

Does your solution involve using the web player? Because I don’t use that, I use the Desktop Client. In that case that would be useless to me.

Still thank you, though.

guys, I created a script for the Web Player that restores the "More albums" and "Featured in" sections. You can download it here: ************. I hope you find it useful. Here's an example:

I have passed the feedback @dasfrodo since I can’t fix it on my side I am afraid.
It might take time due to a high volume of requests and I would also recommend to report it again in the meantime.
Apologies for the inconvenience
