Release Radar showing old songs due to compilations

My Question or Issue

Why is my release radar now filled with a stack of old songs? It appears that "Compilations" are counting as a new release and it's adding new album art to OLD songs for artists I follow.

I can't imagine the artist would like their artwork changed and it's making the release radar unusable.

All of these are not new songs that I don't want to clog by release radar playlist.

I got it too. Don't like it. I look forward to the release radar each week, but this week is massively disappointing.

Same here. Unusable as it is right now for finding newly released songs that fit me!

Yes I have songs I already know from compilation albums like "Rock! The New Loud" and "The Sound of the 00's" clogging my list. I even had some random christmas listed added to my release radar. I just want the latest tracks of artists I like on this list, hope they reverse this change soon!

This is also an issue for me. This makes the whole point of the release radar useless and totally defeats the point of the playlist

How can this app keep getting worse? Are they tanking it on purpose? It makes no sense.

Looks like it's mainly X5 Music atm, reuploading a load of songs into compilation albums for cheap streams. Before was a mild annoyance, seeing and saving the occasional duplicate track in compilations.

Now, I don't care if my Release Radar is 5 tracks long - I don't want to sift through this compilation spam when AI collabs and fake artist credits waste enough of my time.

ReleaseRadar contains Playlists

Hi, I have a request/suggestion/question about my ReleaseRadar. I look forward to the new publication every week.

Today, however, it mainly contains tracks from a playlist (Rock the new Loud). I find that a pity and disturbing.

Same here and I also really don't like this. Please stop including these compilations of old songs in Release Radar.

So frustrating—I had to go through my entire RR playlist and manually block old tracks just to get to the new releases this week. Thanks for making this harder than it should be, Spotify.

I had to do the same, and will have to continue to do so until (hopefully) Spotify corrects this.

I agree!! Why would they add compilation albums to the release radar? It makes it unlistenable 😞

Came here to see if anyone else had this problem. Please fix this, it's unusable!
