The weekly top songs in the metal category are very dated

Why are the weekly top songs so dated??

Top songs in the metal category are from def leppard(yes, that's how its spelled, please dont think me an idiot) and the traitors and plagiarists known as Metallica ...rock category CCR Fleetwood mac and journey have the top spots... Alternative is much the same

It's almost like keeping track of the WTS stopped abruptly roughly 25 years ago...granted some of these songs are on remastered albums but still....

With the busted WTS the antiquated community page format and the broken hours listened counter i suppose we should all be glad Pandora isn't a company that sells food or medicine or cars or baby cribs...just kidding Pandora but not really because if i was as wanton and neglectful with my job id likely make people very sick or worse..obviously, nothing like that is going to happen but we the subscribed and collectively the financial well spring responsible for your paychecks might enjoy seeing a more current WTS from or favorite genres of music or we might find it interesting to see how many hours weve listened to music... not cool Pandora..im not saying, im just saying and you deserved that little bit of criticism...

In my post i mentioned that def leppard and metallica had the top spots
with songs ftom at least 25 years ago however, the metallica song wss from
the remastered black album ...I also mentioned rock and alternative in my
post... the top songs for rock were from artists that were most relevant in
the 70's and 80's : Fleetwood mac Ccr and journey ....I would have thought
you would have seen that if you read the post ...Anyway, these so called
weekly top songs have not changed since I've become a subscriber...curious
wouldn't you agree?

I would be remiss if I didn't mention that my post, as well as this very
exchange, lack any and all inflammation of words...in fact,and as far as I
can tell , nothing whatsoever has been inflamed , I was very careful not to
add inflammatory words or even the suggestion of inflammation to my words

They might not be outdated a lot of people like older music like I am 16 and I love the song “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley and that was released in 1987.

@GatherYeDemons Thanks for following up.

A screenshot can be helpful in confirming exactly what you’re seeing, since similar stats and lists can appear in multiple areas of the Pandora app. Depending on where the information is displayed, the underlying data may be sourced or aggregated differently. Seeing the exact screen helps us identify the specific feature and review the correct information.

Based on your description, it looks like you’re referring to the Top Songs This Week chart within the genre categories.

For context, this chart is based on aggregate listening activity across Pandora listeners for that genre during the week. It isn’t intended to represent newly released music, or personalized to listening history. Because the ranking is driven by overall listening volume, older catalog songs that continue to receive a high number of spins may continue to appear near the top alongside newer releases.

That said, I’m happy to pass along your experience and feedback to the appropriate teams so they can review the current Top Songs This Week results and confirm they’re displaying as expected.
