I will never understand why Spotify has multiple instances of the same album, which aren’t different versions, that are sometimes hidden.

I don’t want to ‘like’ multiple instances of the same song, it drives me disproportionally nuts.

Oh well at least it isn’t Apple Music.

Go to example: Jax Jones - Snacks. Somehow manages to have 4 instances of the same album, minor differences between them and inconsistent labelling.

Whilst the desktop UI/UX makes this easier to navigate, it’s simply hidden on the mobile app unless you go via duplicate songs.

Why else do I care about this?

It messes up my play counts when duplicates get thrown into the @Spotify generated playlists, or when search brings back the ‘wrong’ one.

Most importantly, it’s a scientifically proven fact all gays like to rank everything, play counts matter!

P.S. I will also admit this thread was inspired by the Olly Murs song I posted earlier having two instances on Spotify where the tracklist is randomly flipped between what would have been disc 1 and disc 2 in olden physical days.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
