Ok so I’ve been loving the Artist Radio function lately. Other than the known issue [here](https://forums.plex.tv/t/artist-radio-builds-same-list-of-songs-each-time/586505) (which I find very annoying) I’ve been wondering what is the criteria for when Plex sets an artist for a “Artist Radio” Station?

For example I’m listening to a lot of Hardcore lately, When choose Biohazard and tap the radio icon, off it goes (_still playing the same bands in the same order as mentioned in the link above_). The fifth song is always a Dog Eat Dog song (_ **and always** it’s only from one album, a 4 song throw away album out of the four albums I have._) My issue is when trying to mix it up if I go to Dog Eat Dog there is no “Artist Radio” icon. Plex will add them to another “Artist Radio” but won’t let me play a “Station” from them.  
At first I thought maybe it’s something silly like… “Tags” but I checked all of Dog Eats Dogs albums and they all have the same Tags, then I thought “maybe I don’t have enough albums from them” but when I look at some one like Devil Driver I have one song off one album, but it has a “Artist Radio” icon right there.

Artist radio is messed up at the moment. Fix is apparently being worked on but no fix as of last server beta
