Prefer Original Albums Over Compilation Versions in Playback and Search

I’ve been using Deezer for almost a year now, and it’s almost perfect except for this issue. I’ve noticed songs are often played from compilation albums instead of their original albums. I personally prefer listening to tracks in the context of their original release.

For example. When searching for a song, compilation versions tend to stick out more than the original album version.

This affects the listening experience in a few ways. Album artwork and track listings may not match the original release and it makes harder to explore full albums as intended by the artist.
 

I suggest prioritizing original albums version for playback, display the original album version first in search results. 

This topic is similar to a thread that was created four years ago and I would like to bring this idea back into discussion.
