I'm using Pandory Plus and I recently added a new station based on the artist IQ but it never plays any of IQ's music! I think it played maybe two on the first day but then none at all and I've listened to it for several days now. Only 'similar' artist music is played.
I've searched around quite a bit trying to figure out if there's a way to manually correct this problem but have found nothing at all.
If someone can help with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @rhchadwick
Welcome to community!
Something to keep in mind, Pandora Radio Stations are designed to introduce you to new music based on the artist or song you created the station from. Listeners have limited control over when or how often a particular artists or songs will play on a station.
However, I did take a closer look at your "IQ (UK)" station along with your most recent listening history. I do see songs being played from the artist IQ. Some example tracks:
In the meantime, I've noted your experience and shared your feedback with the teams that look after our library to consider future improvements of the station experience.

Hi @rhchadwick
I looked into the artist IQ (UK), and unfortunately, a portion of their songs are labeled "Radio Only" due to our current licensing restrictions. This means that they aren't available for on-demand listening. That's why when you've tried Artist Only Mode, you may not receive their whole collection. Since we're bound by our existing license to stream those tracks in a radio format this may also affect how often in plays on a radio station.
I've noted your experience and passed along your feedback for more availability with the artist IQ (UK).
Started IQ (UK) Radio again this morning and 52 songs have played so far at this time... I scrolled back to through the first one and not a single play of any IQ songs in all that time. Seems like there's something wrong with your music selection algorithm.
