Daily Wellness mixes not updating tracks

[joulsauron]

My Question or Issue

Ever since I started listening to the Daily Wellness mix in April, the songs barely have changed. I get a refresh on the podcasts every morning and evening, but 90% of the songs are the same day and night, just the order is changed. This means that a high energy song that could be suitable for the morning mix is also played in the evening mix, killing the relaxing mood of the podcasts. Moreover, I dislike 80% of the songs on my mix, I pretty much have to skip all the songs and just listen to the podcasts. More than half of the songs have been on my list since April, which is pretty terrible.

Is there a way to add more rotation on the songs?

I'm not sure if the song choice is curated or is automatic, but it definitely is very different from my musical taste.

The podcast in the daily drive update every day, sometimes the music stays
the same but also seems to be updating in the daily drive.

We haven't heard back from you in a bit. Could you confirm if your Daily Wellness Mixes are still not updating?

We'll be right here if you have any questions.

I now have new songs on the list that appear day and night every day, so I still have the issue, but with a new set of songs. Please note that the issue is only with the music, the podcasts are updated correctly. It seems that the music in the Daily Drive mix updates daily, so the issue is only in the Daily Wellness Mix

Yep, it’s still the same few songs being recycled.

Hey everyone,

Thank you for reporting this issue to us.

We just wanted to let you know that the right folks are looking into this.

We're not able to provide an exact timeline for a fix, but we'd recommend always keeping your Spotify app and all devices fully up-to-date.

Thanks!

How is this STILL broken, it was reported to you over a year ago.

The way you guys handle software development truely sucks. 🙄

New update on this. The music in my Daily Wellness list is now Lo-Fi tracks, nothing else. Most artists in the list just have 3 o 4 tracks released, but they have thousands, if not millions, of listeners. It's really shady. Also, I get a couple of podcasts I don't like at all and I always skip them. I thought the algorithm would know what podcasts I do like. For me, the Daily Wellness list is completely useless now.

What happened to Daily Wellness. Most of the podcasts are gone (Wake Up/Wind Down and others) and the playlist is all jazz piano or low-fi chill/hop> I start my day with this podcast but the playlist makes me want to crawl back in bed

[joulsauron]

My playlist is the same as @Gretchen435i1 , no Wake Up/Wind Down podcast, but this podcast is still releasing new episodes, and all the Lo-Fi themes have been replaced by slow jazz, really inappropriate to start the day!!
