There are several posts about this already and yes I’ve read them, but this needs to be more visible as it is being overlooked by the deezer team.

I, nor anyone else, wants any holiday music to be playing after January at least if not sooner.

Any random PL created or any flow that I start, has some Christmas songs in it.
It is April now, i don’t want it, until Decembar.

I am not going to dislike every single song (or Elvis, Sinatra...), as I want to play them again when the season comes.
You need to properly tag them, and have an option to opt out of those songs, when users feel comfortable, it can be a pop-up it can be a checkbox, radio-button… no one cares how, just make it happen.

I have already deleted them, but maybe I'm going to get in touch with your support team anyway.

This has just started happening for me.

Deezer has never pushed Christina’s songs into my flow out of season (in several years of being a subscriber), but for the last month or so it’s been pushing an infuriating number.

I gave up listening to my flow this afternoon once every second song became a Christmas jingle from artists who couldn’t possibly be derived from my likes, favs, playlists, artists, albums etc.

Deezer: there’s something wrong with your AI (again) - please fix, pretty please.

but I can not figure out a way to prevent it from being included for the rest of the year at the moment.

Just delete it.

It is happening to me too for a couple of days now. Chill flow was recommending the perfect chill songs for playing Cities:Skylines in one morning, but after I restarted my PC it could not stop playing Christmas songs, and does so ever since.

I tried hitting do not recommend on every holyday song, but it seems like it reinforces the algorythm instead, and there are more Christmas songs than clicks my mouse is rated for.

It's the18th June 2024, about as far away from Christmas as it's possible to be and Flow has just decided that I need to listen to some nice Christmas tunes, why? I was having this problem on the 28th April 2024 (see my earlier post above). It carried on for a few weeks but then seemed to resolve itself, until today. Six of the last ten tracks Flow has played have been Christmas songs.
