A challenge exists where participants attempt to navigate the Spotify music library, starting from a specific artist and reaching a predetermined target artist solely by utilizing the “related artists” feature. This involves progressing through a chain of musicians that Spotify’s algorithm identifies as similar, aiming to connect the initial and final points through musical associations.
This activity provides a novel method for discovering new music and understanding the relationships between various artists within different genres. It can also serve as an engaging way to test one’s familiarity with the musical landscape and the algorithm’s perceived connections. The format has evolved from informal sharing among music enthusiasts to structured online platforms offering challenges and competitive scoring.
