The same 30 songs

[Triple3Three]

I have over 100 stations created, I have 1000+ reactions (thumbs up/down) and Pandora plays the same 30 songs they've been streaming to me since I created the account 10+ years ago. Absolutely trash. Disappointed I ever paid for the lousy service.

@Triple3Three Thank you for posting and sharing your frustration about hearing "the same 30 songs" on your stations. That is definitely not the personalized listening experience we want you to have, and it can be really disappointing when you're looking for more variety.

We have some specific station-tuning techniques that listeners have found highly effective for increasing variety. Please take a look at our informational thread here: Tips for better stations

In the accepted solution of that thread, we have a section titled "Station repetition" that is focused entirely on this issue.

I strongly recommend you try the four tips listed there, specifically:

1. Listen using Pandora Modes (ex: Discovery or Deep Cuts modes).

2. Utilize the "I'm tired of this track" option (which temporarily shelves a song without Thumbing it Down).

3. Experiment with removing some of your older Thumbs Up ratings, as this can sometimes broaden the station's focus.

4. Use the Add Variety feature.

Following those instructions should increase the variety of your stations pretty quickly! Give those steps a try, and let us know if you have any other questions. We're here to help you get the music flowing again!
