My Rock playlist only shows 3 options like 'legendary'.

My Rock playlist only shows 3 options like 'legendary'.

If I select a music category like Dance or HipHop I get tons of different suggestions like new releases, modern, old school etc. However when I select Rock it only shows 'legendary, the core of rock music and latin rock'.

Hey @JW250,

 

Thanks for posting in the Community.

 

Could you provide screenshots of the experience so we can better understand what you mean? Does the same happen on a different account? What's the Spotify app version on your device?

 

Keep us posted,

 

Cheers!

Hey!

 
Thanks for the reply.
 
As requested some screenshots. If I select Rock it only shows 2 categories (in dutch so 'de kern van rockmuziek' and 'latin rock' I can't scroll down here. 
If I at random pick Soul. It shows me 10+ categories to chose from.
 
I'm in version 8.8.40.470 on mobile app. My macbook shows the same result.

Hey @JW250,

 

Thanks for your replies and for the info shared. 

 

The screenshots were really helpful, and we really appreciate the time you took to write to us about this.


We'd like to add some insights. Keep in mind that the sections you find under the specific genres you selected in the search area might update over time. In other words, this means some sections appear/disappear over time. That being said, we'd recommend keeping the app up-to-date on all your devices so you won't miss any future changes.

 

Hope this clears things up. If you have any questions or need anything else, the Community is here for you.

Hello! I have encountered same issue, not sure when it began happening tho. There was additional weird thing i encountered while investigating this issue.

So at some moment i found that search results are not so.. relevant, something were a little off, i cant say what exactly, sorry. Like someone logged in my acc from south american region and so i have that specific in query.

I have literally few playlist categories in some genre categories like hip hop, rock, etc. Before Christmas there was only two in rock, lol. "Pulse of Rock" and "Latin Rock" only. Now there's 3 with Christmas related rock music.

Another thing that happening until now (reproduced multilple times to confirm) is setting page that is being opened in chrome is opened in swedish language, but i'm in Ukraine and use English as language for my PC Spotify app and Ukrainian for iphone app.

When I go to the rock lists it shows 2 categories Latin Rock and Pulse of rock. If I try that while logged out I get a tone of nice reccomedations like Rock today, New rock releases, Rock for every mood etc etc

Do you realise that your answer doesn't clear anything up? When you get different lists for other accounts or not logging in, in contrast to when you log with main account, is a clear indication that something is wrong on your "profile" for that account.

I did not realise this topic was still open. The problem solved itself in my case. So.. I can't help the rest, sorry!

They moved my question to yours cause duplication. Make sense in a way.

In my case it seems that the whole country of Greece are considered Latinos I guess. Thats the suggestion you get for Rock if you live in Greece! Outrageous!!!!

I have the same problem and it persists for month if not years now. Exactly same two categories under Rock genre. Strange, given the fact that rock is my main genre of choice. I know what I'm listening to and it's definitely what Spotify, with truly remarkable stubbornness, tries to tell me.
