Prior to updating to HomePod OS 12, I could ask Hey Siri, Play (any given artist) radio, and it would play not only music from the requested artist, but also other "similar"artists.
I've tried doing this since updating on Monday to OS 12 a handful of times, and it always starts playing a "Charts Radio" of some sorts... I have restarted HomePod 2-3 times, and the issue remains.

Unrelated, but when asking Siri to "DJ for me", after 15-20 songs some of them start repeating (were already played after I did the initial request), which I'm sure didn't happen before either, unless I was listing for many many hours.

Initiating calls and multiple timers have been working well, but on the "Music" side of things, this update has brought me some issues...

Anyone else experiencing this?
 
It didn’t work the first couple times but “Play Wolf Alice radio” eventually did play correctly.
Maybe say “Play artist Wolf Alice radio”?

Thank you for the suggestion.
That didn’t work, but what I’ve also tried was “Play Artist Station” instead of radio, and that seems to be working as intended.
I swear the radio command used to work prior to the update...
