Hi @SherriLynn Welcome to community.
I've moved your post over to an existing thread that I hope will help to explain how Pandora stations work - How Pandora works.
Pandora stations are designed to introduce you to new music through the artists and songs that you already know. When creating a station based on your favorite artist or song Pandora stations will play music that is similar to your musical tastes.
To expand your experience, I suggest using Modes. With Pandora Modes, you can take your stations in a variety of directions*.
Artist Only: Only songs from the artist headlining your station. (Please note: You may hear songs from other artists if you have added variety to a station.)
My Station: The station you already know and love
Crowd Faves: Plays whichever relevant songs are the most popular
Discovery: Surfaces artists who don’t usually play on this station
Deep Cuts: Delve deeper into the discographies of the artists on your station
Newly Released: The newest releases from the artists featured on your station
**Not all Pandora Modes will be available on every station
Free listeners and Pandora Plus subscribers will be able to view an advertisement in order to initiate a complimentary Premium Access session to listen to Artist Only Mode. Those that do will also have access to Pandora Premium's other features during their Premium Access session.
