My Question or Issue

I want to know why, when I search for a song on Spotify, it appears multiple times with different covers. Are they different versions of the original song, or is it just one song with different covers adapted to the albums it's been added to? Because some people play more than the daily allowed amount per account. From what I've heard, if a song only has one cover, it can be played 20 times per day per account. But if that song has, for example, four covers, it can be played 80 times per day per account. Please answer that question. Thanks for reading.

Hello @user-removed!

Thanks for reaching out. It seems like, in this case, the artist uploaded different versions of the song in different albums. That's why there are multiple results.

Even though the song itself is the same, since it's in different albums, it shows as a duplicate.

Hope that helps!
