I actually hate this thing Spotify does. Before they had a way to sorting songs by playcount and it made it easy to find songs youd instantly like.

To increase cross sell with underrepresented artists or whatever the strategy is with this UI its quite a detriment when looking for songs you want.

If i wanted to discover artists id like to be able to do that myself, not have it be imposed on my search because of the way the designer thought it up, to increase cross sell to things i had no intention of listening to.

It's almost like a paid version of spam.
