Spotify will let you fine-tune your weekly Release Radar playlist
Spotify is updating its Release Radar playlist to allow users to filter recommendations by genre and artist discovery preferences. The platform is also implementing algorithmic tweaks and a visual redesign to improve user personalization.
Why it matters
This reflects a broader industry shift toward giving users more control over algorithmic feeds to combat 'algorithmic fatigue' and improve engagement.
Spotify is giving listeners control to fine-tune what gets surfaced for them in Release Radar — one of its most popular weekly playlists. The new options allow you to narrow the playlist to a specific genre, focus on artists that are new to you, and more. Listeners can choose from up to five options like “Discover new artists,” “Editors’ picks,” and “Pop.” They’re rolling out now across mobile and desktop apps and will appear at the top of your Release Radar playlist once they’re available.
