Holiday Tags Missing

[kbralley7]

I enjoy making my own Holiday sations.  However, I have come across a number of Holiday tracks and albums that are missing the Holiday tag after the artist name.  I don't add these tracks since that will cause more non-holiday songs to play on the station.  An example of a recent album like this is Reba McEntire's 2016 Christmas Album, My Kind of Christmas.  I have come across countless others like this.  Is there a place to submit these corrections/requests?  In October and November, I submitted several requests through the Pandora Contact Support page, but the Holiday tags have not been added.  I was just wondering if anyone has had better luck with this.  Thanks

Sorry this one is a little complex:

The situation I have is a custom Station, Jacob Christmas Mix (https://www.pandora.com/station/play/4577571213583270973), that plays non holiday tracks from time to time. The reason for this is I have thumbed up some holiday songs that do not have the holiday tag. I'm aware that I could/should report these songs for review to add the holiday tag (https://community.pandora.com/t5/My-Collection/Holiday-Tags-Missing/td-p/7627) ; and some of them I have. However, the issue with that, I've concluded, is that holiday tags are added only to albums not individual tracks. So an album that has a single holiday song wont get a holiday tag. Visa versa an album that has all holiday tracks and 1 non holiday will get the holiday tag on the non holiday song. In the past when customizing this station, I have removed all seeds, add a single seed and either listen to or skip my way through as many songs as it takes to finally hear the song I'm looking for to like. But this is labor and time intensive. So id prefer not to go down that road again. The smart thing to do would be just to remove the likes on the non holiday tracks and move on with my life but I'm wondering if there is an alternative. Does such an alternative exist? could I get either Pandora mods or the curation team to add a few likes to my station to save my sanity?

TL:DR Can the Pandora team add thumbs up to a station

@EmperorJJ1 Unfortunately, there isn't a way for us to add thumbs up to a station on our end for you.

In the meantime, I went ahead and reported the track and artist you reported that are currently missing the holiday tags.

Thanks for letting us know!

I think im pretty close to being all holiday tracks on my station. Just have one last song more to report. This one probably wont get the tag but between it and the last one those look to be the last 2

Jingle Bells (Bass)

Basshunter
