Spotify adding songs that I hate on my discovery weekly

[Wray2064]

Today I found that Spotify added "banda" music to my discover weekly, I never ever listened to anything remotely close to that stupid genre nor added anything by off chance that would suggest that I want to hear such trash and yet today more than half of my discover weekly was poisoned with that mess, why? I even checked all my play history to ensure that no one played a prank on me but I see no reason for such an interference from Spotify

Hello! Welcome to the community! Spotify serves as our musical companion, offering an intelligent recommendation system to suggest new songs based on our listening habits and preferences. This musical wizard is powered by algorithms and artificial intelligence, always keeping an eye on trends and new releases in the music world. However, there might be times when the recommendations don't quite meet our expectations. Fortunately, it's possible to adjust these suggestions to better align with our musical tastes. Here are a few tips to enhance Spotify's weekly recommendations:

Appreciate the music you enjoy: Listen to and like your favorite songs and artists to help the algorithm understand your preferences.

Create and follow playlists: This provides the algorithm with more information about your musical preferences.

Explore and follow artists: Following artists you like tells Spotify that you want to hear more similar music.

Use the "Don't recommend this artist" feature: Choose this option for unwanted recommendations to refine future suggestions.

Discover and listen to other playlists: This can also assist in adjusting recommendations based on your tastes.

Be patient: Fine-tuning Spotify's recommendations may take some time, as the algorithm requires a consistent history to comprehend your preferences.

By adhering to these tips, you can maximize the potential of Spotify's recommendations, uncovering new songs and artists to enrich your life. Over time, the suggestions will become more accurate and in harmony with your musical preferences.

Cheers to Spotify, our passport to the boundless universe of music! A warm embrace, and I hope your issue is resolved swiftly. Best of luck!

Hi all, I'd like to add something that helped me to receive better recommendations. Everyone has different listening styles and habits; that being said, I listen to quieter music while I work such as Chill-Hop or Movie Scores. This is not a reflection of what I want delivered to my Discover Weekly, but it's a necessary part of my listening. To avoid affecting my algorithm while I listen to this atypical music, I enable "Private Session" so it doesn't track my listening for that time. On the windows desktop app, navigate to your icon and name at the top right of your window, click the dropdown arrow and select "Private session". I've attached two images to show how to do this. Hope this little trick helps you find music more aligned to your preferred listening!
