[Bug] Random Songs Playing

Just as title says; I have a few playlists of songs for specific genres. I wanted to listen to punk, so I click the punk playlist. It plays one song from the playlist, and then a randomly selected metalish song not in my liked songs, but that is in a random playlist or two of mine. I restarted my app and tried playing other playlists then going back, but it continued. Below is a screen recording of this. (Don’t mind the watermark, I needed a free way to compress the file size) I’m out skating and I want fast mean music, so I decided “whatever, I’ll listen to my metal mix…” 

Lo and behold now instead of playing metal when I want punk, it starts playing songs like KGLW’s ‘Pop in My Step’!!! I mean, come on! And there’s no bug report system! I have to make this silly community post and pretend that some one will actually give a rat’s behind about it…

Update: It is playing songs that aren’t in my playlists now. I’m assuming the suggested music feature is breaking and thinks my playlist is over after only playing one song or something?

Update 2: Another example of how random: The Image attachment shows that “Ice V” by KGLW is the current song apparently playing from my playlist ‘Smells Like Sweat’ which should be just metal music. Attached is a link to my playlist if you’re in absolute disbelief. https://spotify.link/s4q0M6m9xBb

Update 3: I tried hard resetting my device. It is now playing Badfish. I skip, A New Level. I skip, Drink Dat. These three songs are part of three separate playlists. There is a possibility that Badfish and Drink Dat exist in the same playlist, but they don’t share with A New Level.

My brother found the solution! Somehow I queued a playlist that comprises of all of my playlists, but for once it was actually playing songs that I haven’t heard in a minute, usually it plays a few of the same songs even when I use the Spotify playlist randomizer, so I didn’t think to check and see if the songs were all from that playlist. Whoops!

oh my goodness of course it asks to download when you click the attachment 🤦

For a service solely existing digitally, y’all have the absolute worst user interface…
