Same. Back before she blew up in the US I discovered Lorde from a Spotify user generated playlist (i've no idea how i found it, but glad i did) and I played it 100x (it was at the top of the list) and was given the reputation of having good music taste from the person I was dating at the time.

Algorithmic playlists I've not found useful. The Apple Music "create a station from this song" feature is more or less broken imo -- i get so much of the same same same stuff

Similar, Spotify recommended Alice Merton to me before she went viral not entirely 100% sure but I think it was a user playlist too. There’s been a few other artists I’ve discovered very early in their careers and it’s great seeing them get some fame.

Apples recommendations are so bad. It just goes right back to the same top 100 songs.
