There’s currently no easy way to play all of the songs by one artist on Spotify, however, there are a few workarounds you can use to hear an artist’s entire discography. You can search for a complete playlist another user created or press the play button on the artist’s profile to hear 30 to 60 of their most popular songs. You can also create your own playlist with all the artist’s songs so you can listen to them at any time. Keep reading for a complete guide showing you how to play all of an artist’s songs on Spotify for Android.
