I miss going to an artist profile and clicking on the button TO ONLY listen to songs by them, I think that was something that Deezer allowed years ago. Now we have the ‘play a mix’ in each artist but obvs the mix is not a mix of solely their music but with other artists of similar genre. Is there a way to only play one artists music (in shuffle) that is not going straight to their ‘top tracks’?

hey there @helenciithafukkyea

I agree with the “top tracks” issue and I’ve never found a streaming service that doesn’t sort and/or favor by popular.

Creating playlists is so easy that I find myself making artist playlists by simply adding all their albums (which can be a few or many). I get all the deep cuts and find that it’s an excellent tool for music discovery, even for an artist I thought I was familiar with.

That way I can just hit shuffle and away I go. It also gives me some editing capabilities. For example, I made a comprehensive Josh Groban playlist, but I didn’t add any of his Christmas music.

It’s a little more work, but I find it’s worth it.

Thanks for your feedback @polar54. I’ll pass it to our devs but.
In the meantime, you can check if the artist you want to listen has a 100% playlist or click on top tracks and press play.
Apologies for the inconvenience.

@Jaime.Deezer No worries. It is pretty cool how responsive you are in there !

Yeah, I would expect that clicking on the “Artist Mix” button will play a mix of exclusively that artist’s discography. I love the discovery aspect of the current state of things, but it’s really not the expected behavior. Having both options would be great: “Artist Mix” - mix from that artist. “Similar Mix” (you gotta name it better :D ) - the current behavior of playing related/similar songs.

P.S. Just came here to second this - glad to see activity 5 days ago :)

Yea seriously.

Is there not an intuitive and simple way to play tracks from a SINGLE artist?

This whole shuffle only is just a horrible user experience.
