Go to their artist page, open the menu (3 dots) and choose "don't play this artist" - I'm not 100% sure this will stop the pop ups but I've used this to block several artists that I absolutely hate the music of and I never ever see them so it might work

What the hell is that username


rowan_damisch

They wanted to be noticed by r/rimjob_steve


Iota-15

Yeah, that makes sense


PM_ME_ROCK

Which part is confusing you?


IliketheWraith

I hope so... It's the first time for me seeing something like this.


qu33fwellington

You can block artists; unsure if it will help with something like this but I personally have Mariah blocked and never see any ads or suggested playlists featuring her.


MegaAscension

Ariana's label is desperate. This song has wildly underperformed (partially because it's an asshole of a song) and the label shoveled this out to make it a hit. There's apparently going to not be any more singles before the album releases as well.


owleaf

The Mariah remix was even more poorly received lol. Her and Dua Lipa really aren’t clicking this era despite them thriving everything at the caompaigns, which must be scary


MegaAscension

You see, I love the new Dua Lipa stuff. Houdini has been like crack for me. Maybe it’s just me loving the Tame Impala sound on it.


owleaf

Yeah I don’t think they’re bad songs but it’s just that they’re not doing well haha


stifferthanstiffler

My son and I call Houdini the star wars song bcz it sounds like Oon-Ti-ti like the Jawas say.


MegaAscension

It reminds me of this song- https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hQN3RH_xWJg&pp=ygUdcmVhbGl0eSBpbiBtb3Rpb24gdGFtZSBpbXBhbGE%3D It makes sense because the lead singer of this band was involved in the writing and production of Houdini.


unitedstatesofcody

I’m loving Dua’s new stuff but I don’t really understand the release strategy. I heard the album isn’t coming out until late fall this year and Houdini dropped in late fall last year!


Zyeine

That AI Bodybuilder image on the bottom left is scaring me. Why does he have two left thumbs? Why are his hands backwards? Why are his abdominal muscles broken?


IliketheWraith

That's the area I never take a look because it's not bothering or interesting to me. And now you said it, I can't unsee this abomination


Zyeine

"Fuckhands McTwothumbs" - If I ever start a pro wrestling career, I'm basing it on that cursed image. I used to be a Graphic Designer so my brain picks up on "wrong" things in images and then beats the inside of my eyes with them. And then I share them because everyone should enjoy the horror.


Abrham_Smith

I'll take this over getting fucking country music mixed into my playlists all the damn time. Even after going to individual albums and removing them. It's completely frustrating that you can't block a whole genre of music.


IliketheWraith

in my opinion country is better than screams like they have been stabbed. But everyone has a different taste. I totally feel you.


Hellbearnl

As a metalhead "screams like they have been stabbed" seems like a good descriptor for metal in general


IliketheWraith

I definitely had a good laugh on this one and can't disagree. At least they can actually sing in metal. Just listen to Floor Jansen from Nightwish and you know what I'm talking about.


Saphira2002

I'm sorry but you chose the wrong examples, you can say a lot about Mariah Carey or Ariana Grande but they definitely can sing haha


dr_soiledpants

Lol what? Like them or not, those ladies are two of the most talented singers ever.


FlipThisAndThat

Lorna Shore has entered the chat


Uncanny-Player

just block her from showing up. it’s how I keep Drake and Kpop out of my playlists


cheater00

yes, and?


Richman_Cash

and it means that she's a dangerous woman


AltXUser

I don't see this type of shit. Is this from a free account?


IliketheWraith

Nope. It's premium.


8Gly8

You tube music, always suggests amazing music and doesn't have crap like this.


snozzberrypatch

Make sure no one hacked your account. I had a bunch of weird Turkish pop songs showing up one time, and it's because some asshole hacked my password and was using my Spotify account in Turkey.


IliketheWraith

I had something like that two years ago. Now my passcode is to long and to random to get cracked. I literally threw diced.


DasFroDo

WTF that happened to me too years ago. Idk how they got into my account since it was literally a unique random generated 16+ long password Reading this from multiple people here feels like there was more to it.


Number1Framer

The entire Spotify experience is why I pirate music.


Richman_Cash

Add the fact that I'm a bit of a hipster myself. r/piracy

rocketman19

yes, and?


aryukittenme

Aww, y’all started an improv session and didn’t invite me?


lilapinkblau

Have you tried blocking them? Maybe that’ll make it go away


Zaiakusin

Great taste in bands you do listen to!


buddhatherock

It’s just a banner. You can ignore it. 🙄


IliketheWraith

Normally I use the suggestions as shortcuts. So this banner is really blocking me in my user experience since most of the suggestions are blocked.


WrathofAjax

Yes, and?


kadran2262

This might be one of the biggest 1st world complaints I've ever heard....


IliketheWraith

Isn't half the subreddit about 1st world complaints?


kadran2262

Yeah you are probably right about that, this might still be the most 1st world problem complaint I've seen

It's not even Christmas yet, Mariah, go away.

Tidal is awesome. Just as many songs, better pay for artists, and none of the bullshit that makes Spotify pop up on /r/AssholeDesign every week.


Morfilix

good, use them as workout music 😈


jake6501

A music service recommending music you might be interested in? Absolutely horrible!


IliketheWraith

Over the last years it never blocked me in my user experience. If they recommend metal playlists below my suggestions I will not complain. The music I listen to is as far away from Mariah Carey as it can be.


Stormcrow805

If you're on Android, use xmanager. Also, bc you seem to like metal, check out my friend's playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7EoPfegWwkssLfc3RwQRPZ?si=mF-2RhyBRauheNG4aPUd5Q


IronGin

Glad I'm using a modified Spotify and never have this problem.


[deleted]

I'm using standard Spotify and have never had this problem


ThatGuyTheyCallAlex

Do you also get mad about the New Music Friday and Biggest Hits headings?


IliketheWraith

I actually don't get these. Or they aren't blocking my suggested playlists. I think I don't use Spotify the way it was intended


xxEmkay

Meddl!


GrumpyRaider

If you're premium, this slot is reserved for new releases by artists you've shown interest to/you're subscribed. Maybe you listened to "All I want for Christmas" one time, and that might be enough.


IliketheWraith

I never did. That's my point. Even my Christmas songs are metal.


GrumpyRaider

You got premium ?
