Not hearing the song I created a station with

I started a collection based on a song for traveling with Android Auto. So far, after 5 days I have not even heard that song. I've heard other songs by that and other artists numerous times but never the song I wanted to hear. What did I do wrong or is this the way it is?

@Gradyinsocal Nice to see you around the community.

We understand that it's frustrating not to hear the song or artist that you've seeded a station with, but there's no way to control when or how often particular songs or artists will play on free Pandora or Pandora Plus, so it's not possible to create a station and hear that track play right away (though it could happen by chance). Because of our licenses, we have to limit the predictability of a certain song or artist from playing on those services.

For more information, check out the section titled Not hearing the artist or song your station was created for in the accepted solution to this thread: Tips for better stations

I hope this helps!
