How can I shuffle all songs by an artist on Apple Music?

Siri is the only way I've worked out which isn't ideal.
 
When you have your music listed by artist just hit the picture of the artist that's next to the name.
 
In the list that shows all artists, tap the cover art that is directly left of the artist name. (See image) and then make sure the shuffle toggle is turned on in the full screen player.

*edit*
And in iOS 9 they added an actual shuffle button above all the artists albums you have once you're tapped into an artist "page". However doing it the method I first mentioned (shown in the image) is quicker, since you don't need to tap into the artist at all.

Don't you guys have this? AFAIK it was only missing in the initial release of Apple music, whichever that version was. 8.4ish

I mentioned that it my post. It was added in iOS 9. But it's still overall quicker to shuffle all songs from an artist directly from the artist list. Rather than tapping into the artist first and then tapping the shuffle button. (one tap vs two)

Sorry I missed that. Yeah it is faster - and it's great - if you know it's there :)
 
This doesn't seem possible in Apple Music. Try shuffling a random artist you have not added to your library.
 
Does anyone know if it is possible to shuffle a random artist? Spotify has this feature which should be basic :/
