Android (Auto) only plays the popular tracks with voice commands

I've been using Spotify with Android Auto since last March. Until recently, when I gave the voice command "Spotify play <band name>" it would play tracks from the requested band. I could skip around and listent to alot of tracks from the requested band.

 

But recently when I say "Spotify play <band name>" it only plays the 5 most popular track and then repeats then again. If I tell my Android phone "Spotify play <band name>" it only plays the 10 most popular track and then repeats then again.

 

I use voice commands with Spotify daily. Almost every time I get into my car. This new limitation is vey frustating. It was nice to be able to give one voice command and listen to alot of different tracks from an artists. I know, prior to this recent change, at somepoint the tracklist  would start back over but it was after alot of tracks had played. That's fine but limiting it to 5 tracks is frustating.

 

On a side note, I also noitced, more times than not now, the Play Queue doesn't update after the initial queue was created from the first voice command. If  I say "Spotify play <band name>"  it will build a Play Queue for the artist requested but if  I say "Spotify play <a different band name>" then the Play Queue still shows for the first band. If  I say "Spotify play <a 3rd band name>" then the Play Queue still shows the tracklist for the first band name. 

 

Has anyone else expereinced this issues?
