Discover weekly gives me Indian and Latino music

[Roky_Acid]

Discover weekly gives me Indian and Latino music. Now the 2nd week in a row. It appetites that I had a discover weekly full of Indian pop music some time ago but the week after everything was ok again.
But now? Last week only Indian songs, this week Indian and Latino songs. Both music I do not like neither play it on Spotify.
I saw a thread with the same issue where people got German music and there was no solution for that. So probably same here? Or does Spotify have a solution in the meantime?

Hi there @Roky_Acid,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community and welcome!

For starters, to make sure everything is in order and no one else is accessing your account without your consent, we recommend securing your account by following the recommendations in this article. Make sure you also go to your Account Overview page and scroll down to Sign out everywhere.

Bear in mind that personalized playlists (e. g. Daily Mixes, Release Radar, Discover Weekly) are based on your recent listening activity. You can make sure Private Session is off so the algorithm can gather enough info for your next personalized playlists. Also, make sure you're listening to music not only from other recommended playlists like Discover Weekly or Daily Mix but through the Search option as well.

Lastly, could you check if the playlist looks the same from a different device and the Web Player? If they look the same, could you send over a screenshot so we can take a look?

Keep us posted!

Hi Susan,

thank you for reaching out. I checked all the mentioned points and everything is ok, so the source of the strange behavieour must be somewhere else.

Playlist looks the same in my MacOS App as on Iphone. I also checked now Web player: same here.

Screenshot is attached, hope you find a solution.

Best

Christian

also the recommended playlists in the bottom row are completely nonsense for me

Hey @Roky_Acid,

Thanks for your reply.

You've mentioned that this has happened in the past. Have you noticed anything else out of the ordinary during this time like unknown titles/playlists in your Recently played section or your password getting reset? 

This sounds a lot like the aftereffects of someone accessing your account, but not to worry - if that's the case, all you need to do is make sure that your account is now secure (using the steps provided above), hiding the unwanted tracks from your Discover Weekly playlist and playing your favorite tunes with Private Session disabled in your settings.

Keep us posted.

no, nothing unusual. No unknown playlists or recently played tracks that are not from me. That can't be the case. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for keeping us in the loop @Roky_Acid!

To be on the safe side, you can also check for any 3rd party apps that might affect Your Library. You can check this on the account page > Manage Apps. You can remove access to all apps that you don't recognize. If you'd like to reconnect them at a later occasion, you only need to log back in to that service and relink Spotify.

It's also worth giving a few more weeks for algorithm to re-adjust to your music taste. The best way to do this is by adding music to Your Library and by add songs to your Liked songs playlist. The playlist should update with time, as long as you're frequently adding content.

Let us know if you have any questions!

ok, also checked for 3rd party apps, but there are none. I keep an eye on the playlist. Yesterday it renewed and it's still exclusievly Indish songs in it. I hoped that it was again a one-time-only issue like the first time. So now I wait what the next weeks will bring up. Pretty unsatisfying, since we cannot figure out what went wrong and what the reason for this issue is

[Roky_Acid]

so now it is the 3rd week in a row when my discover weekly shows me exclusivly indish music. No other music I heard and I do use spotify a lot. I did not hear any indish music in the last 6-12 month and I do not have the impression that the algorithm adjusts. Is there any way that you can reset it for me or is there another solution?
