Won't stop playing suggested songs

[CaptainBurns]

I just made a playlist dedicated to Pink Season, by Pink Guy, and in the beginning it was working fine, and played 2 or 3 songs normally. Then, it out of nowhere started playing Carly Rae Jepsen, which was a suggested song. I figured if I just skipped it, it would go back to Pink Season, but no, just more suggested music. I tried restarting the app (on andriod) 3 or 4 times and I have only gotten it to play one more Pink Season song before it just went back to playing suggested songs. Is there any way to turn off the suggested music?

Spotify automatically plays recommended songs when your playlist contains less than 12 songs. I would recommend adding each song more than once in a playlist, it worked for me.

I'm Pemium also, same problem with "suggested music" that I do not want.

The playlist I am listening to has a total of 116 songs and I still get suggest music playing randomly through out the playlist. Sometimes I like the song and end up adding it to the playlist but most of the time I skip the songs and it does not help so the less than 12 songs thing is false or at least it is in my case.

I've tried this, but Spotify always, always plays recommended music for me on playlists over 12 songs. One of my playlists has 60 songs and Spotify still plays recommended music. Whenever I use the app on my computer or iPad it doesn't seem to play recommended music, but Spotify seems addicted to playing recommended music when I'm listening on my phone.  The app seems determined to disable as many enjoyable things as possible to make your only solution be buying Premium.

I was on Premium and unable to disable suggested music. That's why I
cancelled.

Hey folks, 

Thanks for getting in touch about this.

We can confirm that the behavior you described is expected with the free service on the mobile app. Spotify free can help you find new music we think you'll love. That means we’ll continue to suggest tracks and artists for your playlists as you create and edit them. The more you listen, the better the suggestions will become.

If you have less than 15 songs in your Liked Songs, we'll add more songs. You will see a message telling you that the extra songs were added by us, but they can be replaced by adding more songs.

If you're on Premium, there's also the Smart Shuffle feature, which adds song recommendations to your playlists. Make sure that it is deactivated by following the steps in this support article.

Additionally, Autoplay is another feature that could be causing this behavior. We'd suggest checking out this article for more info on how to disable it.

Lastly, you can find all the differences between the free and the Premium service as well as the available subscription types here.

Cheers!

When I click a playlist in the queue there are recommended songs. I don't want recommended songs I just want the playlist I clicked

When did this start?! It's obnoxious! I spent hours and hours making playlists SPECIFICALLY because it's apparently the only way to avoid the payola bull **bleep** and the fact that you refuse to let us block songs or artists. And now you're shoving it down my throat anyway?! STOP IT. I'm a paying customer.

There is a lot of music, podcasts, etc that I find disturbing for personal reasons and that's why I started paying for this service - so I didn't have to be advertised at. It's turning more and more into a joke. Stop it. Enough.

My Question or Issue

I like different kind of music depending on the time/on my mood (metal/ rock/.. but also  sea shanties)

While I was Premium, in every radio from a group or in the official playlist there was some seashanties even in the HellFest play list for example
I just tried again (I stopped my premium plan because of it) and the problematic song disapeared. 
I used the shuffled mode, does the problem come from it? 
Do I need to like more song to train the AI again?  

Thanks

Just cerated a playlist and all of a sudden Spotify plays recommendations instead of my playlist. Super annoying. I hadn't created a playlist for weeks (which is not like me) and now recall in the back of my memory that I had the same problem months ago, but back then, I could deactivate this sh***. Now I can't, no option to get rid of recommendations anywhere (not that I saw at least). And I want to deactivate this *permanently*, not every time I create a playlist. I am so annoyed that I cancelled my premium subscription (after 5 or 6 years).
If you want more money (and apparently not to pay more to artists), the least I want is an app that functions the way I want, not the other way round

You are playing to many suggested songs since the last 5 weeks
