When ever I play the Hamilton soundtrack, it plays a few songs, the plays random songs that are not in the playlist or related at all.

And when I try to see what songs are in it, I click the preview section, but nothing happens

Hey @Aedan005, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

Help's arrived.

Could you try a clean reinstall of the app on your iPhone following these steps?

Also, based on your original post - you are on a Free plan, correct? Or are you on a Premium plan?

Let me know how this goes!

I already tried a clean install of Spotify. Yes, I do have a free plan. Thanks

Hey @Aedan005, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

Can you let me know if this playlist contains 15 or more songs? You can also follow these steps and reply here with the URI so I can take a closer look at this. 

Looking out for your reply!

The playlist does have more than 15 songs. It also does not give me the option to copy the link.

Hey @Aedan005, 

Thanks for getting back in touch. 

When you tap Share, it should give you an option to Copy Link. Once you copy it, paste it here so I can take a closer look.

Hey @Aedan005,

Thanks!

Can you let me know if that happens with this particular playlist only? 

Also, does the same happen when you play it on web player or on other devices? 

Could you perhaps go to Settings in your Spotify app and send a screenshot of the 'autoplay' feature?

Looking out for your reply!

It happens to many other albums and artist. I do not currently have a working computer to test other apps or the web player.

Hey @Aedan005,

I've taken a closer look and can confirm that this is expected behavior. Seems like there are songs being added to the playlists.

Spotify adds songs to playlists and albums on the free mobile version and the more you listen, the better suggestions you get. You can check here for more info.

The limit for 15 or more songs is for the Liked songs playlists. This is why the number of songs in other lists does not affect the suggestions.

So everything seems to be okay, and this is normal behavior.

I hope this helps!
