Original story (published on June 6, 2022) follows:
If you are someone who loves to listen to their favorite music on the go, you must have heard about Spotify. Available in 184 countries, the music streaming service is used by millions worldwide.
That said, Spotify also creates a personalized playlist depending on your music taste that is full of newly released and popular songs called Discover Weekly.
But in the last few weeks, users have been complaining that the playlist was not playing or loading for them.
Adding to the trouble, Spotify subscribers are now reporting that they are seeing the same songs in the Discover Weekly playlist (1,2,3,4,5). Many are frustrated and wondering why their recommendations were not refreshing.
Some even tried re-logging into their Spotify accounts, reinstalling the app, and restarting their devices but nothing seems to help fix the issue.
Here are a few reports from Spotify who are tired of seeing the same songs as last week in their Discover Weekly playlist.
As it turns out, Spotify developers are aware of the fact that the Discover Weekly features the same songs as last week and said the problem is currently under investigation.
We hope the developers fix it at the earliest so subscribers can listen to new songs once again. When they do, we will be updating this space to reflect the same so make sure you stay tuned.
