Some Discover Weekly songs are already in my favourites.

Hello 🙂

I noticed that sometimes in Discover Weekly there are songs that I already listen to and they even are in my favourite songs list. It happens because Discover Weekly takes the song from a different album or version of an album.

Thanks,

Hi there @user-removed,

Thanks for reaching out about this in the Community!

The way the recommendations algorithm works is based on your listening habits and what is most popular with other users who enjoy the same type of music.

The best way to influence the algorithm would be to listen to listen to songs and artists via the Search option and not only through the other recommendation playlists, which will narrow down your recommendations pool and you'll start seeing songs that you've already heard.

When some content gets removed and re-added to the platform either to the same album or to a different one, tracks get uploaded with different metadata. This is something that the right teams at Spotify have been informed of and are working on improving.

Hope you find this info useful. Don't hesitate to reach out again if you have questions.
