Not for now

Be able to see other followers / fans of favourite artists to discover new music

It would be great to be able to see the followers of the artists we listen to. In order to follow them and discover more music related to ours.
Maybe it does not do much with popular artists, but for contemporary classical music and other oddities it would be very useful.

Sería genial poder ver a los seguidores de los artistas que escuchamos. Para así seguirlos a ellos y descubrir mas música afín a la nuestra.
Tal vez no sirva mucho con artistas populares, pero para música clásica contemporánea y otras rarezas sería muy útil.

    Up.

    That used to be nice feature. The first I noticed that a complete stranger was fan a playlist of mine, I went on the profile and looked at what the person listened to. I ended-up discovering new artists that I now listen to regularly (Black Tartan Clan!)

    To oldrecord's point it's particularly useful for artists not very popular (yet) or more confidential genres.
    It would be really cool if this was brought back.

    Wow, a related thread where I haven’t mentioned Last.fm yet! :wink: That site shows e.g. your neighbours on your Last.fm profile, i.e. other users with a similar taste of music. Also you can check the top listeners of an artist/album/track on their related Last.fm pages, also the users you follow in a separate tab. Last but not least you can set your “Obsession” for one week, i.e. your favorite track that you cannot stop listening at the moment, and then check who else has or had the same obsession.

    Luckily Deezer has an internal scrobbling option which means you can connect both accounts in your Deezer “Alerts & Sharing” settings, and then everything you listen to on Deezer will automatically be listed on your Last.fm profile and also used for personal recommendations.

    ZZee ya, Hans-Jürgen (Bluezz Bastardzz and Indigo Rocks, live album on Deezer, last.fm/user/hjbardenhagen)

    Not yet @Adrik O'Sangster 

    But we're gathering all your feedback to make improvements in the near future - especially on Social Sharing :wink:

    On the trial at the moment, but this feature would push me to join permanently!

    Nothing has come close to Rdio since it shutdown. Deezer is tantalizingly close.

    Rdio was easily the best interface I’ve seen in this game, and being able to follow any user (unless they choose to be private of course) was the best thing for finding new music. Would be even better if it showed a taste similarity indicator like LastFm. At the moment I use LastFm for this purpose, but it would be great to have one integrated system.

    Don’t care about sharing with facebook etc, just want to be able to follow other users who listen to similar music I do and then generate stations based on either individuals or all people I follow, their favs, new obsessions etc. More options the better. Cheers!

    Hey there @rapidobear 

    Thanks a lot for your detailed feedback, we really love these.

    The good news is that we have teams working on magnifying the social part of Deezer, it's a big project for us at the moment. Once I have more info to share with the community, you'll hear about it here :v_tone2:

    One more vote for this feature.

     

    Although, I am a bit concerned about the fact that this discussion is two years old. What does it take to get the attention of people who could make this happen? :(

    I get why you'd feel that way @redcatateabat, of course. But Deezer's changed a lot in the last couple of years, including how developers see our community and organise/structure their plans for improvements. We're an essential part of their planning for a while now, and that's why you see things like Dark Mode, Gapless, independent logins for Family profiles, etc. It's just that all ideas fall into a list, a backlog, and every quarter we plan what we can do with what we have. Thank you for your vote and understanding :v_tone2:

    @Rudi  Thanks for your reply! I understand that there is probably a great lot of new functional features being tested, voted for and implemented as we speak.

    Similar to others in this thread, I love Deezer’s algorithm for finding new music, and I believe this feature would be a great addition to that. 

    Here’s to hoping we’d get it someday. :) Cheers!
