Apple Music uses the cheap versions. How do I stop this?!?

Is there a way to get APPLE Music to play the POPLUAR versions of songs. I like Apple music, but whenever I play a "station" or something "for me" Apple seems to pick these weird remake versions of songs. As an example: I was just listening and it played:

Walking On Sunshine-Katrina(Katrina and the Waves)-ECHO BEACH(2008) ($.99) on iTunes

Instead of the playing the popular version:

Walking On Sunshine-Katrina and the Waves-Katrina and the Waves(1985) ($1.29) on iTunes

It might seem petty, but I can hear the difference, so I, stop what I'm doing, dislike the song (poor version), find the good/popular version and "love" the good version. The problem is, i may not love the song, but I don't know how else to tell the App the version of the song I prefer. It's a real pain, I want to use the "for me" stuff, but this drives me away everytime.

Storto Man,


Giving a dislike on the version that you don't like and a love on the version you prefer seems like a good way to have your say.


For that particular song, most listeners would agree with you. But there are cases where the re-recorded version is the fans' preference (think "Taylor's Version") so I doubt there is a general rule that would work. However, if you want to make a suggestion to Apple, you can use the feedback link:
