Sincere question: do you use a unique, secure password on your Spotify account, and are you sure that it's never been compromised? Your story sounds very similar to a case where a Spotify account was being used by someone else.

No the queue will now add popular Playlists to what you were listening to when you restart the app if your previous queue was a generated one. Not sure the exact steps to cause it but it seems like if you were listening to a daily Playlist close the app, the next day the Playlist has updated and instead of pointing to the new daily it decides to point to one of the popular Playlist for your next songs in queue. It doesn't stop the song you paused on it just adds new shit to the queue after it once it loses track of where to point. Seems like they should just start shuffling your liked songs in that case but nope it points to a random pop Playlist.
You know what really abouts the flying f out of me?
Even if I start with something quite heavy like system of a down, ace of spades or whatever it always ends up after half an hour with ballads, soft rock and what have you. Elevator music.
Why. Why? Wasn't I clear ? I want metal. And lots of it. That's what i started with. Not muzak. Stay with the genre. Not jump them.
I've never seen this myself fwiw
I use a complex password. I don't see a way to view logged in devices but nothing else is fishy so I'm assuming it's something some marketing idiot came up with.
