After noticing yesterday that my nr3 artist: Sezen Aksu was not so often played - for whatever reason by the last.fm algorithm: does not fit into the major genres played, ... - I made yesterday also an artist play of her

As you can see her tracks were played only at begin of the 100-minute-session (track 1,2+5) :-(
Certainly this depends on my existing play frequency of those artists also, but still a little less...
(all in all a good session, I just skipped some songs of Sertab Erener)

Sibel Can – Lale Devri
Emre Aydın – Hareket Vakti
Ayşegül Aldinç – Al Beni
Gülşen – Üç Gün Sürmüş
Şebnem Ferah – Bugün
Sıla – Cam
Nükhet Duru – beni tanıma
Göksel – Karar Verdim
Kayahan – Anla Halimden
Leman Sam – Gül Güzeli
Sıla – Gol
Aşkın Nur Yengi – Seni Aldattım
Emre Aydın – Belki Bir Gun Ozlersin
Nil Karaibrahimgil – Kamikaze
Nil Karaibrahimgil – Ama
Sıla – Vur Kadehi Ustam
Aşkın Nur Yengi – Ayrılmam
Göksel – Ayrilik Gunu
Ayşegül Aldinç – Nefes
Sertab Erener – Bahçede
Sezen Aksu – VAZGECTIM
Aşkın Nur Yengi – Sevgiliye
Deniz Seki – Yarım Kalan Aşk
Sezen Aksu – Unuttun mu Beni?
Sezen Aksu – Git
