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. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤭" title="Face with hand over mouth" aria-label="Emoji: Face with hand over mouth">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat">

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. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤯" title="Exploding head" aria-label="Emoji: Exploding head">

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!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏅" title="Sports medal" aria-label="Emoji: Sports medal">

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.
