Google Home Spotify Commands to Play a Certain Album
You can request a certain album by a specific artist from Spotify, as follows. All tracks on that album then play, in the right order, from start to end.
You may also omit artist / group names for albums with unique names in Spotify. But to ensure that you hear what you wanted, state the album first, and then the artist. Why? Because many albums in the Spotify library have the same names as their artists.
Caution
But you may hear a short silence (inter-song gaps) in those albums with one long recording. They often subdivide these albums into tracks. This makes finding certain songs in that recording easier. E.g. Live albums or certain studio recordings like Pink Floyd’s The Wall album do this.
Asking for track numbers within the album does not yet work.
- Hey Google, play Fly Like an Eagle album by Steve Miller Band on Spotify.
- OK Google, play Steve Miller Band, the album Fly Like an Eagle on Spotify.
- Hey Google, play Steve Miller Band, Fly Like an Eagle, the album, on Spotify.
- OK Google, play the album Fly Like an Eagle, by the Steve Miller Band on Spotify.
- Hey Google, play the album Fly Like an Eagle on Spotify.

Got a favorite artist or group? Ask Google Home to play all the songs by that artist that Spotify has, as in the following examples. Here, the following requests all result in the speaker playing the songs in Spotify by the Steve Miller Band.
Caution
The artist name you want could also be a song title. E.g. The group name Middle of the Road is also the title of a 1984 song by the Pretenders. So in this case, the smart speaker may again play the wrong song. To stop the confusion, just add the “songs by” phrase to the request, as follows.
