Whereas once, at least theoretically one could add a limitless amount of other artists to a station, (I had one with maybe 130) there seems to now be a ceiling of six. Am I wrong ? First became noticeable to me when I was playing that station with 130 on it and seemed to only be hearing six or less of them all of a sudden, and then in trying to build a new station of its like as I got to adding the 7th artist, the first one I added would disappear from that which Pandora makes visible. Or even the random play of all my stations, which is about 120, seems to center on only a handful of them in maybe the last six months.

@raymondbrettman I moved your post over to the My Collection space.
Adding variety to a station doesn't narrow the song pool that Pandora chooses from, nor does it increase your chances of hearing a particular song or artist. Rather, it opens up your station to a lot of variety, which can make for some undesirable matches. I would suggest editing this station to remove those extra seeds.
While you can technically add as many artists as variety to a station, as a general rule, stations seem to work best with no more than 3-4 seeds added.
To edit your stations on a computer, first make sure you're signed into your Pandora account. Then:
You might find that Pandora works best if you create multiple stations with different artists or songs. From there, you can utilize our shuffle feature to hear a variety of musical styles in one listening session. Shuffle plays a one-song set from a random station that you've included in your mix and then moves onto another song (from a different station). This is significantly different from listening to a single Pandora station.
Hope this helps!

Artists mode is not available for Pandora Plus, which is what I have. Suggesting that in my case is useless.
Hi @378018
Artist Only Mode should be available to free listeners and Plus subscribers. However, since licensing regulations require a Pandora Premium subscription in order to be able to listen to your station in "Artist Only" mode you'll first need to initiate a complimentary Premium Access session first.
