My Spotify Wrapped was 47 hours of rain sounds, so I tried the search bar trick and it actually worked

Every December my algorithm decides I only listen to ambient rain noise because I use it to sleep after night shifts, which is fair but also useless for finding actual music. Last week I typed in a random band name followed by the word radio, hit search, and clicked the playlist that came up instead of the artist page. It gave me 30 songs from similar artists I had never heard of, zero repeats of my usual stuff. Now when a playlist gets stale I just add "radio" to a song I like and skip the artist page entirely. Anyone else have a dumb search hack that beats the actual recommendation feed?
