Similar artist not playing on channel of same genre.

[jgiardello]

Hello,

I listen to Ozzy Osbourne Radio and it plays many of the bands I love to hear as well as what I have thumbs up to add those bands to my list.  However, I noticed the one time they played Disturbed and I thumbs up'd it and then they never played it again.  How do I get them to play Disturbed?  I see that Disturbed is listed at the bottom of the screen as a similar artist. 

Thanks for your help!

@jgiardello I understand that it's frustrating not to hear a song or band that has previously played on your station, but there's no way to control when or how often particular songs/bands will play on free Pandora or Pandora Plus. Because of our licenses, we have to limit the predictability of a certain song or artist from playing on those services.

That said, for complete control of what you hear on Pandora, try Pandora Premium. It combines our industry leading internet radio service with on-demand listening and easy playlist generation.

Alternatively, you can start a complimentary session simply by searching our library for a song or album, and clicking play. This will trigger a short advertisement, after which you can enjoy content on-demand.

Hope this is helpful. Thanks so much for listening to Pandora!
