Does anyone else find the Spotify âShuffleâ algorithms to be quite woeful?
For instance, I have a playlist of about 500 songs (with about 200 different artists in it), and it will frequently play the same song again 10 songs later, and often keep playing songs by the same artist in that playlist.

Itâs not great, I have the same issue. There seems to be a loading issue or an algorithm that circles back to the same tracks.
Speaking of algorithms- the Spotify AI DJ is kinda intriguing. Used it a few times and has played me some interesting stuff but other times itâs been way off

Iâll have try the AI DJ⊠wonder if there is an option to have it announce songs etc so it sounds like more like a real radio DJâŠ

The DJ does do that. Not every song but itâs kinda scary how realistic it sounds. Also addresses you by name.

I think that will be the future of radio (somewhat sadly) though.
Online, customisable, eg choice of voice, music, other content eg. news updates etc.

My favourite Christmas song is âMerry Christmas Everybodyâ by Slade (for anyone old enough to remember them). As they saying goes âItâs not Christmas until Noddy says soâ.

On this weekâs ARIA Singles Chart, âMurder on the Dancefloorâ by Sophie Ellis-Bextor has recharted at #25, more than two decades since the song was first released.
Elsewhere, Ariana Grande has dropped her first new song in more than two (maybe three?) years, titled âYes, and?â.
Ava Max and David Kushner will also drop new songs next Friday, titled âWhateverâ and âSkin and Bonesâ, respectively. The former song samples âWhenever, Whereverâ by Shakira.

@bacco007, I have found this ref from NBC Today
âSaltburnâ made this 2001 dance song go viral. How the singer reacted to her unexpected hit
Basically the source tells us that Saltburn revived Murder on the Dancefloor.

Without giving away any spoilers, a character in Saltburn does a full frontal nudie dance to Murder on the Dance Floor.
Although this movie was in cinemas for a short time and quickly went to Prime Video it already has a huge cult following. Some very risque scenes are already legendary.
