Spotify’s Discover Weekly playlist, which shares new listening recommendations every Monday, is getting an update.
Ten years after the debut of Discover Weekly (yes, we feel old, too), Spotify Premium users will see new controls at the top of the playlist, which allow them to push their recommendations toward certain genres. So, if you mostly listen to 80s rock, but you’re starting to develop a soft spot for K-pop, you can select different genre filters to push the algorithmic curation in the right direction.
This feature is intended to give users a bit more control over what kinds of new music they most want to hear from their Discover Weekly playlists.
According to Spotify, users have streamed over 100 billion tracks on Discover Weekly, with 77% of Discover Weekly listens being from emerging artists.
To access the new-and-improved Discover Weekly, Spotify Premium subscribers can navigate to the “Made for You” hub, then navigate to their Discover Weekly playlist. There, if the latest Spotify version is installed, users will be able to see the new genre controls.
For an app that can feel overwhelmingly dominated by algorithmic recommendations, Spotify has recently announced features geared toward giving the listener input over their listening algorithms. The queue was revamped, showing which Spotify recommendations are coming up and allowing users to choose in advance what stays on deck. Listeners can also “snooze” songs they’re tired of so the song won’t be played for 30 days, but also won’t be hidden for good.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
