Why always live version of a song

When searching for a song on Sonos or Google Auto, Deezer always defaults to a live version if it exists.  How can I disable or discourage this behaviour?

Reviving this thread to say that this glitch also drives me insane, and seems like actually quite a major one given that people listening on smart speakers make up quite a chunk of music streamers by now.

If it isn’t live versions (happened to me the other day with I Can’t Stand Up For Falling Down by Elvis Costello & The Attractions) it’s bad remixes (as just happened to me while trying to play Harder Than You Think by Public Enemy on my Google Nest). I end up having to cast the audio from my phone, which defeats the point of enabling Deezer for voice assistants. 

Surely there must be a way that if there are several tracks with the same name by the same artist, you can make Deezer default to the one that has the most plays, which is almost always going to be the correct choice?


Hi @Emily Mackay I have passed the feedback to our music team.
Thanks
