Discover weekly playlist update problem

This thing has been only updating once every 2 weeks, instead of 1 week, for the past 2 months. I figured it was a fluke at first, but now it seems constant. Why is it not called discover bi-weekly if you wont update it every week?

Multiple Artists Jumbled Together

I've noticed this before, but I sometimes see that two artists with similar names are jumbled together. The latest example that I have encountered is for the artist "Keith". You get the 1967 rock artist plus a reggae artist together.
