Songs keep getting added to playlist despite blocking artist

Nick3902 — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 06:15:32 GMT

So a while ago (roughly 1.5 years) I liked a single song by an artist I found on Instagram (LaLion) and ever since his content keeps getting auto-liked and added to my library. I've tried removing them individually, stopped following the artist, even blocking the artist on Spotify but their content is continuing to appear without my consent. Im not a new user as I've had premium for nearly half a decade, and I have over 2k liked songs, both of which I saw were issues for others. Is there any way I can get this fixed? Or am I doomed to eternally removing sub-par songs from my liked list?

Plan

Premium Individual

Country

U.S.A

Device

Samsung Galaxy A53

Operating System

Android

Hey there @Nick3902,

Thanks for getting in touch about this here in the Community.

First up, we suggest that you unblock the artist and then block them again. Afterwards, make sure to log out and then log back in to your account twice in a row. This will trigger a sync between your account and device.

If this doesn't do the trick, it's recommended you secure your account by following the steps below:

Log in to your account page and scroll all the way to the bottom.
Select SIGN OUT EVERYWHERE.
Request a password reset by visiting this article.

It's also worth checking the apps that are linked to your Spotify account on your account page under Apps and remove any you don't recognize. You can find out more tips on how to protect your account here.

Keep us posted on how it goes.

Hello, I have had issues with this exact artist; LaLion. I have removed the songs individually, and blocked the artist as well with no avail. I am also a long time user. Surely that can’t be a coincidence.

Blocking an artist?

So there is an artist that I think I had presaved a single album for a couple years ago. I have since unfollowed, unliked songs individually, told spotify not to play the artist, everything I can think of, but still every time they upload a song, it automatically saves to my liked songs, even though it's grayed out because I said not to play the artist. How do I make that STOP happening?

I have the exact same issue with the exact same artist. Ive done all that was recommended on this thread and it didnt fix anything. Its definitely an issue with spotify or this specific artist.

An artist's albums and songs have repeatedly been added to my library

LaLion, an artist that I don't listen to, has music that keeps reappearing in my library and liked playlist. I have deleted the songs and removed the albums, along with blocking the artist from playing, but it doesn't help.

Hey there,

Thanks for reaching out in this thread!

@Adram - would you mind sending us a screenshot of the email you received? Ensure that the sender is visible on the picture, but make sure to hide any personal info, as this is a public forum.

To confirm, is the music from this artist added to your Liked Songs or Your Library automatically as well? It would also be great if you could double-check so you're not following the artist in question. You can see this in Your Library > Artists.

Keep us posted!

I am also having this same issue with this same artist.

Super frustrating!

I'm using Spotify premium in NZ so it seems it's a worldwide issue 😫

Hey @Void_Walker,

This is quite odd! When you say it's the same issue, are you referring to the same artist re-appearing in your library or the emails @Adram has mentioned? If it's the latter, please refer to the reply from @Maria.

To make sure you're covering the troubleshooting steps that can help out here, see the reply from @Eni and make sure you don't have any third party apps that may be causing the described behaviour:

Log in to your Apps page.
Click Remove Access on any app.

We'll be on the lookout for your reply. Keep us in the loop!

Hey

Sorry for the late reply.

I'm referring to the same artist constantly re-appearing in my liked somgs despite blocking and removing the songs from my the playlist every time.

It's very frustrating and I've never listened to them by choice..

I have just tried removing app access so will report back but just found another 16 songs by lalion added to my liked songs despite the fact that he is blocked. I have unliked them and will try the other recommended steps again and report back when I have more information.

At least I'm not the only one that lelion won't leave alone.

Did anything work?

Im getting spammed

Whole playlists from him are being saved

So far... Nothing new. So it seems going through and removing the access
from everything has been helpful.
🤞🏻🤞🏻 It stays that way
