when i play my playlist it plays random songs

[riannaqqqq]

when i woke up i played music on my alexa and i was confused because when i controlled the music directly through the spotify app it would play songs not even in my playlist but say im playing my playlist but now that im not connected to my alexa it keeps playing random songs i’ve never heard of before between a few songs. i asked my friends and it’s doing the same for them too.

My Question or Issue

Sorry I should have updated this. Figured out what was going on for me although not sure it’ll help everyone.

This was occurring where I played a playlist via an Alexa device. It turned out that Amazon, in their infinite wisdom, had added a new Autoplay feature and defaulted it to on. To turn off you need to go More> Music and More> Settings>Autoplay from the Alexa app. Hope it’s ok to have instructions for Alexa on here as this solved the issue for me.

I had this same issues. All of the above steps failed. What worked for me was to delete the app off my phone and redownload. It only affected my phone.

I realised I\d accidentally added songs to my queue and it was insisting those songs are listened to, even though I had changed playlists. It hasn't done this before, usually it cleared the queue immediately when switching playlists. I wish this was more obvious, because it's been a frustrating couple of weeks. Especially the I hit the add to queue by accident.

I have tried all the above and can't seem to find a remedy. Has anything been resolved through Spotify?

• Hello, two random songs were added to my playlist without me doing anything. I havent ever even heard these songs and they were on my playlist. One song was from Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga and the other was from Eminem, I dont listen to Lady Gaga or Bruno Mars, so its totally unexpected that the song would be there, however I listen to Eminem, so I may have added it and forgot, but it was garbage in my opinion and it seriously feels like I never even heard it before. Any opinions or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Another song has just appeared on my playlist. Its by Joey **bleep** and I do listen to him and have him on my playlist, but I never added this specific song to my playlist. What is going on?!

the same thing is happening to me. It is so confusing but I think downloading the playlist fixes it. Annoying fix but a fix nonetheless.
