LOVE Spotify right now. Spotify Discover Weekly has become a Monday morning ritual. Release Radar takes the same approach, curating a new playlist every Friday. So smart to build these experiences around appointments to create a weekly habit. 💕
Here's a screenshot of my Release Radar this week:

@rrhoover Wow that's amazing! How's it built? Based on my followings or, more like Discover Weekly, based on my history and EchoNest algorithms?

@hfauq @rrhoover I don't know how it's built but I have the exact same playlist than Ryan when I click on his link.
Which is pretty weird cause I think it should be a unique playlist generated by Spotify for me.
Am I wrong?

@pierrickgt: Not the /user/ tag in the URL. You're checking his personal playlist. If you want yours: go to Browse, then you'll find the Release Radar there. Hit Follow & done!
@hfauq: Seems like Discover Weekly. I have artists in my playlist that I don't follow... although I think this is more weighted towards followed artists than Discover Weekly.

@basgras well to me, it looks like Spotify is the user.
Since the url is /user/spotify/playlist.
For example if you want to access my weekly playlist, you need to use this link:
http://open.spotify.com/user/spo...
So it's the encrypted part at the end that is the actual playlist.

@pierrickgt @hfauq @rrhoover mine looks completely different. i'm guessing it works similar to discover weekly, but combined with their artist follow functionality

@rrhoover I've been finding myself moving away from DW and just browsing my new releases, to find new stuff from my favorite artists. It sounds like this is the ideal middle ground.

@pierrickgt @hfauq @rrhoover you can follow someone else's release radar, your personal playlist is obviously different.
