When I explore for a new bands, I always want to hear the best (the most popular) tracks first. Not even when I explore, but just listen to some old band with their old good songs (not just new)
Instead of this, Deezer offers me to listen for “top tracks” which is mostly looks like “most popular within deezer users for the last <specific period of time>”. I pretty sure the songs from that list are not the best and not most popular for the all the time. Last week or month? last year? Who knows! Deezer even doesn’t offer me to choose the period!
Last.fm offers to choose the periods - this is really useful.
Spotify just shows the most popular for all the time.
Deezer offers…. something odd.
Just one sample from my recent exploration. Deep Forest band from France (like Deezer). Just compare the results and see that it’s something wrong with Deezer’s Top Tracks algorithms.

Spotify:
Deezer:
Last.fm and Spotify shows very close results, Deezer shows just last release songs: I’m pretty sure these are not top tracks for 30 years of Deep forest history ))) and not the most popular for 15+ years of Deezer history :)
