Clicking the artist name in an album view does not take you to that artists collection anymore. In ios 10 it used to be that way. In ios. 11, the artist name still looks like it’s clickable and changes color when you touch it but does not do anything.
Good News !
The problem is resolved, thanks to the Apple Engineering Team.
All you have to do is sign-out and sign-in with your Apple ID.
Hi Orkun,
This is a regional bug and it is associated with the missing new "Follow Friends" feature. You do not have this friends feature, either, right?
Check out the links below:
Unresponsive artist names in album view
See what friends are listening to in Apple Music - Apple Support
I talked to Apple today and they confirmed that Friends Feature is not available in Russia, China and Turkey. So I hope they could be careful enough to separate unresponsive artist names bug from this region restriction and solve our simple but very annoying problem.
After signing out it still does not work for me. Also, when I click on the same song in the “artist” option, from a playlist, it restarts the song. Idk if that’s a new thing, but originally it would continue the song and automatically play that artist album that you’ve selected. I like it because it was a seem less transition. Is this a bug also? Or part of the update?
Thanks for the answer and the links. Yes exactly it the case as you described. Fortunately I will wait for an update for the bug to be flxed.
After signing out and in, a killng and restarting the music app may also be needed.
At looks it is solved.
Thanks for the help and information.
