duplicate versions of songs appearing multiple times in auto generated playlists
I’ve been having issues with auto-generated playlists (e.g. Top Tracks – Last 30 Days). I often get the same song appearing multiple times in a row in the playlist, even though it only shows up once in the stats view. This seems to happen when Spotify has multiple versions of the same track (single, album, deluxe, music video, etc.). For example, “Roman Holiday” by Fontaines D.C. shows up four times back to back, “Jackie Down the Line” and “Big Shot” show up twice, and “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor” by Arctic Monkeys shows up two or three times. Most of these look identical in the playlist (same cover art), with the only difference sometimes being that one version says “Music Video” under the track name. Removing the duplicates manually doesn’t really help, as the playlist refreshes daily and the duplicates come back. The stats themselves seem to aggregate these correctly, so it feels like this is only an issue with how playlists are generated. Is there any way to fix this

Yep same for me, playlists used to be fine until about 4 months ago, now I don’t even bother using them because of this

Used to one or two now have several songs coming up twice by different artists . Like the last 30 days format but getting really buggy and irritating. Although not quite as irritating as songs starting again ( counts )
