Apple Music shuffle doesn't shuffle!

Okay so I thought it was just me having this problem but when I play on any device that supports apple music it shuffles in the same order over and over.

even if I select a song from the middle of my playlist it will play the same songs in the shuffle mix.

yes, I am aware that you can click the shuffle button to change it but it chooses the same songs to shuffle every single time.

The algorithm is terrible when it comes to shuffling but hopefully, updates will fix this in the future.

Salutations Appleeuser222, 


If you shuffle from your entire library, as opposed to a playlist, does the situation persist where it continues to play those same songs? Does it seem to matter if the songs are downloaded versus being streamed? 


Lastly, can you check if any form of repeat is enabled? The following article shows you how to check that, including screenshots showing what the icons look like that you want to view - How to repeat music on your iPhone


Thanks.
