All songs newer than 6 months do not get included in Blends

[PEPSIRECORDS]

Hi all! the issue i'm gonna describe is related to blends. It came to mine and my friends' attention when we went to see Barbie the movie and after that we became obsessed with song "I'm just ken" by Ryan Gosling and we listened it to sooo many times because we wanted to push it to appear on our blend playlists. However it did not happen. We began theorizing what is the issue here and after some time of observation we came to the conclusion that new songs do not appear on blends. We started monitoring almost daily if any of the new songs released in the past 6 months appeared in the blends and they did not, despite the fact they were listened to almost daily! (Which is also confirmed by our Spotify wrapped summaries, for example new Hozier or grandson albums made it to the top in wrapped, but never appeared in blends) it's also weird because whenever older songs get listened to for only like 5 times they make it to the blend! it's getting weird and don't know anymore what's the deal here. Did anyone also notice this or know what's the issue here? Is spotify somehow blocking new songs added to the blends? If so why the same doesn't apply to some of the mixes that spotify creates also
