My Question or Issue

I tried to look and play my discover weekly but it just won't show up. i can find the playlist but it just won't load and after a bit it literally says " couldn't find playlist". I've looked on my iphone and and surface pro. the surface pro loads and says couldn't find. my iphone just loads forever. and when i even ask alexa to play discover weekly she says she cant find that playlist ( i asked her to play release radar and it worked). i never really looked at discover weekly before but now when i look it just cant "find" the playlist even though i can see it under the discover tab on the search. pls help

I used to have Spotify it worked fine, but I logged into another account I had and I checked out "Weekly Discovery" and clicked on it to listen, but it doesn't load for some reason

The Weekly Discovery playlist that doesn't work for me: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZEVX...

My Question or Issue

As the title states, why isn’t my discover weekly loading? Is there a problem with my account?

Hi there @doo9,

Thanks for the post.

Sorry to hear this is happening.

Can you try the following:

• Log out Everywhere and back in twice. This will force sync your account with the servers.
• If possible ask a friend/ family member to log in with their account on one of your device to check if they experience the same issue with Discover Weekly.

If the issue is still present after this, please let us know your phone's model, OS version and exact Spotify version.

Keep us in the loop.

My Question or Issuei

Discover weekly isn't loading on any application/browser except the desktop application. 

When I attempt to navigate to it in the web player, it says "can't find that playlist" and it just doesn't load on my phone app.

I am having the same issue

[kennetharethun]

Same issue on all my devices: WIndows, MacOS, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS.

Doesn't matter what device, OS or Spotify version.

I am not sure if this is the right thread to post in but here's my issue anyway.

At night I often listen to music in my playlist titled Bedtime Jams which is a collection of soothing classical and ambient music to help me relax and sleep. I will play the music in this playlist all night.

Now for the last while everytime I try to listen to my discover weekly it only has sleep and ambient music. Like everytime.

I want my old discover weekly back where it would recommend music that is more in alignment with my general musical tastes and genres.

Does anyone know of how I can solve or work around this issue? Appreciate sincere suggestions. Thanks!

My Question or Issue: 


Same basically to everyone else in the thread with our Discover Weekly, no reboots or logins fix it, I tried to keep working on it and nothing really seems to show change and or work. If anyone knows a substitute playlist that gives new music in Spotify to me until the bug/issue gets resolved I would be happy.
