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.

Same here and this is awful. Makes the Release Rader playlist unusable for its intended use, to find new music. 

What the actual f? I have got Madonna - Like a Prayer as a new song  😞

Put it back the way it was!! Nobody asked for this. 

This is infuriating. Release Radar is my favorite Spotify feature. I've been following artists on the app for years for the sole purpose of being able to keep up with their new releases. To have Release Radar clogged up with old songs repackaged on playlists and compilations is unacceptable. Spotify already pushes its playlists on me constantly — let me have some control over what I get in Release Radar.

100% agree, my release radar is filled with old songs from compilation albums which crowd out ACTUAL new music. MUST FIX!

Looks like it’s been corrected now

Hate it too!  Just came here looking if somebody else was suffering because of this. 

Hey folks,

 

Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to post in this thread so far!

 

We've been monitoring it here, as we're aware of the issue. Could you confirm if the behavior has been fixed on your end and the Release Radar playlist is now looking as it should?

 

We'll be on the lookout.
