My Question or Issue

My playlist's suggested songs are the 3 same songs and if i add/remove any of them to or from the playlist another set of the same 3 songs appear, this is happening in a playlist thats about 250 songs large

Hi there @YZhao,

Thanks for reaching out. Could you please provide us the following:

• Is this on all devices or only on specific one(s)? How does it look on the webplayer?
• When did this start happening?
• Is only one playlist affected?
• If you create a new playlist and copy the same songs into it, does the same thing happen?

With this information, we’d be happy to investigate.

Keep us posted.

Hey @YZhao,

Thanks for getting back to us.

We'd suggest logging out and then logging back in two times in a row on your devices to see if that does the trick. It sounds a bit odd, but it forces a sync between the account and your device which might be helpful in this case.

Something else you can also try is clearing cached files by following these steps.

There's also an idea about being able to remove songs from the recommended section of your playlist, which you may find interesting. Feel free to check it out and show your support by giving it a thumbs up! The more votes an Idea gets, the more likely it is to get implemented 🙂

You'll also find all the relevant info about our Idea Exchange and how the Community feedback gets implemented here if you'd like to know more about the topic.
 

Hope this helps. If anything else comes up, the Community will be here for you.

Hi there @YZhao,

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry to hear that nothing from the above helped. 

You can try adding or removing some songs from the playlist to mix up the recommendations algorithm. To be honest, in some playlists you won't get a big variety of recommendations if the songs inside are not from various genres. 

It's best if you leave your vote and feedback under the Ideas that @Lyubka has linked to. This feedback is being regularly passed on to the developer teams at Spotify.

Cheers.

problem is though, it's my main playlist and its around 250 large so it definitely has enough variety to get new recommended songs but it just doesnt.
