Shuffling liked songs of artist doesn’t show songs featured saved anymore?

[JoshAnderson115]

Does anybody know why it doesn’t play music you have liked in the artist menu if they feature on a song like it used to? For example if I go to my Drake saved songs and hit shuffle under his artist menu it wouldn’t shuffle in like “Life is good” by Future feat. Drake. When previously it’s always done this for me? I don’t want to make an playlist for an artist just to be able to listen to the songs that they have features in. There’s a lot of times where their “feature” is honestly the entire song. Or like the song technically is like a djs song but there is an artist that sings on there over the djs beat. I know it always used to shuffle in songs they feature it and it still does here and there for me, but it’s not consistent and I don’t believe there’s a setting for it or anything it seems it just kind of does it when it wants to.

Hey there @JoshAnderson115,

Thanks for searching for the answer you need here! 

We want to reassure you that the features are still included in the shuffle function. Keep in mind though that if they make up a small amount of an artists song they'll come up more rarely in the queue. A workaround would indeed be to create a few playlists that have more of the tunes you'd like to keep rocking to.  

If you think that a shuffle function for features only is something that also other users might be interested in, we suggest that you post an idea about it. The Idea Exchange is a great way for us to see what our users are interested in and how many people like a certain idea. You can read more about it here.

Hope you find this useful. Keep us posted if you have any questions.

Have a great day!

On IOS it appears that songs an artist is featured on are not at all listed under the featured artists liked songs list (the one you can click on when looking at an artists page). Is this going to be a feature? It’s frustrating when a number of songs are not displayed purely because they’re featured and not the primary artist.

Hey there @sithstriker124,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Just to double check- you can't see the songs the artists are featured on on their artist page or in Your Library? You can also send us screenshots of what you're seeing. We'll investigate this further.

Keep us posted! We'll be right here if you have any questions.
