Abstract

A server system accesses a listening history of a user of the media-providing service, where the user is in a demographic group. For each track of a plurality of tracks in the listening history of the user, the server system calculates a first metric based at least in part on an affinity of members of the demographic group, as compared to members of other demographic groups, for the track. The server system averages the first metrics for the plurality of tracks in the listening history of the user to determine a second metric. In accordance with a determination that the second metric satisfies a threshold, the server system selects content for the user and provides the selected content to a client device associated with the user.
