Same happened to me, with the same weird music.

Also yesterday, I was listening The Beatles and randomly changed to Andrew Turner.
Hey @justgracex,
Welcome to the Community.
Have you tried logging out everywhere and changing your password? You can check how to log out everywhere here.
Let us know how this goes. Have a nice day.
I dont believe is a password problem, I'm from a diferent country and the same weird music appear in my recently played.
Hey @justgracex.
Thanks for getting back to us.
By "the same", do you mean it's the same as the music in the original poster's post (ie as can be seen in the screenshot)? If so, could you give us some examples?
Once we have this information, we will look into it further.
Thanks! We'll be looking out for your reply.
Yeah, with some difference but yes. I marked in red those that are the same.
I only listened The Beatles from all that music, the rest I don't know where it came from.
I have had this exact problem. Same tracks appearing in my recently played. I have tried three separate times now to log out of everywhere on spotify and facebook. Reset my passwords (even using the facebook double verification log in). Diligently log out of any facebook sessions etc. But still the same weird music keeps coming up. I've looked around forums and this is happening a lot. SPOTIFY IS NOT LISTENING. They keep telling us to follow the change your password link etc. THIS IS NOT WORKING. THERE IS CLEARLY ANOTHER ISSUE ---- GET IT SORTED!
It doesn't seem to matter what device you use or what your personal settings are. I am premium (Student). I use my spotify on my phone and listen through 4 different firesticks / also on my iMac / also occassionally on my work PC.
Please can someone acknowledge there is a problem and let us know if you are looking into it.
It's obvious someone is stealing money by giving themselves fake plays.
SO ANNOYED AT THIS!!!!!!!
weird songs
Hey folks,
Thanks for reporting this. It looks like a lot of your recently played music doesn't match with what you've been listening to. This may have several reasons; the account is being used somewhere else, the account was used during a gathering and so on. We'll look into this and get back with updates.
In the meantime, we suggest you hit the +VOTE button and do the following if you haven't already:
We'll make sure to get back to you as soon as we can.
