Not hearing the song I created a station with

[Gradyinsocal]

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.

I hope this helps!
