Delete Top Artists from profile

I have a similar situation where I want to delete an artist from under my profile.

Is this possible?

I am currently on a Plus trial

Thanks

@MC60PC43 To clarify, did you need help removing an artist you added as variety to one of your stations?

If so, please send me:

the name of the artist you want to remove
the name of the station you want them removed as variety from

Let me know.

Hi Adam

They were not added to station for variety.

They are under my profile as Top Artists.

Can these be removed? I'm not really into these any more.

Station.... Zipper86

Please advise

Thank you for sending those over, @MC60PC43.

Unfortunately, there isn't currently a way to remove or edit the Top Artists section showing in your profile.

If you'd like to see that option added to the service, I recommend creating a feature request for your suggestion here.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your help Adam, I thought that may be the case.

Would doing a thumb down on these artists keep them from playing?

Thanks again for looking into this for me.....

I love me some Pandora.......

@MC60PC43 While we do not offer an option to prevent an artist from playing on your account or specific stations, I recommend giving this existing feature request a ❤️ to express your interest in getting it added to the service: Blocking/Muting Certain Artists / Song Selection Rules

In the meantime, continue to give any tracks by those artists a Thumbs-down on your stations, and Pandora should learn to stop playing them over time.

Hope this helps!

An artist whom I've never heard of is somehow very high on my (20) Top Artists list in my Profile. Like the others here, I want to delete an artist on that list with such a new Feature. Follow-up questions:

1. Can this problem indicate that my Pandora account is running on another device, where I might not realize it (like a Chromebook), and how may I check this device's identity or MAC ID?

2. Could my account have been hacked?

3. If I don't know the artist, then how can I "thumb-down" their content? This was a good idea by @MC60PC43 in this string above.

BTW, I do not have the extra capabilities of a paid account.

Thank you!
