		zimpenfish on Jan 30, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: 4 million songs on Spotify have never been played.... It's not very (at the track level) - but at the same far too (at the 'release' level) - accurate. "Wayward Wind" by Gogi Grant (off "Sweet Memories") is listed -but- the track itself is listed as one of the most popular if you search for her, just not off that particular album. There's a metric ass-ton of releases which probably explains why one particular release has zero even when the track is clearly very popular. F-. MUST TRY HARDER.

This is very annoying on Spotify itself as well. If you use the 'radio' feature (basically random tracks based on some genre/artist), it often repeats the same track over and over, from different releases.

Oh, so THAT'S why it repeats tracks! I always assumed that the radio feature just wasn't very smart.
