My Question or Issue

I've noticed that both the following endpoints

/v1/me/playlists
/v1/users/{user_id}/playlists

return incorrect values for `tracks.total` for "Blend" playlists.

The playlists/playlist_id endpoint

/v1/playlists/{playlist_id}

does not have this problem and correctly returns the `tracks.total` value.

Sample playlist-id affected by this problem: 37i9dQZF1EJtbHkCqjWopE

Both the `/v1/me/playlists` and `/v1/users/{user_id}/playlists` endpoints return 0 for the track count, whereas the the `/v1/playlists/{playlist_id}` returns 50 (correct).

I've demoed in this bug in this screenshot.

Bumping this thread, this is still happening.

What is a "blend" playlist?

Specifically the "Put it all together with Blend" section has more details on it.

It's a playlist you create with someone you know, and it's exlcusive to the two of you.

It's comprised of music that you two listen to.

Bumping again, can anyone look into it?

Bumping again, haven't heard from anyone in over 2 weeks.
Could anyone from Spotify look into this?

Bumping again, it's been almost 2 months, can we get an update?

Might have something to do with that the playlists aren't owned by the user; They're owned by spotify, which is what allows them to dynamically update.

But there are other dynamic playlists "Discover Weekly", "On Repeat" and others report the correct total count.
