Spotify Algorithm Test. . .

The song is arbitrary. I just want to see if it spits out different results for different users

Interesting


Here are the first 5 it recommends to me...


1) Feelin Good Again - Robert Earl Keen
2) Where Rainbows Never End - The Steeldrivers
3) My shite's fricked Up - Warren Zevon
4) Let the Mystery Be - Iris DeMint
5) The Weary Kind - Ryan Bingham



What are the variables? And what do they have to do with Guy Clark?

How many of those 5 songs/artists are ones you follow/marked as liked (hearted)?

I have found that if I follow an artist or like a song/album, it is more likely to show up in a radio station, even if the song/artist has nothing really in common with the song/artist/playlist that I created the station from.

All of them. That’s my point.

The radio option used to be a great way to discover new music. But now it mostly just recommends music that it knows that you know.

What’s the point? If I want that, I’ll create a playlist.

Wow, Breakfast in Hell.

95 percent of my daily mix is songs I’ve already liked (I’ve liked just under a 1,000). Should really be more suggestions based on what I like in there.

Same for me. I have almost the same amount liked. It always seems like they use the same 100 or so liked songs in the daily mixes too and leave out the majority. I'd like it to be about 25% already liked songs.
