Apple Music only playing 20 songs for playlists or artists

I have playlists with over 100s of songs on my Library. When I click on Shuffle, it's only playing 20 songs from the playlist. Same thing happens if I go to an Artist and click on the Shuffle icon next to their name.


Before upgrading to Big Sur, clicking on Shuffle would play all the songs in the playlist, or all the songs I have for that artist.


This is happening on macOS Big Sur 11.4 with Apple Music version 1.1.5.74


Has someone seen this? Seems like a bug to me.

iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 11.4

Hi jorgexgb,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


We are happy to help with the issue you are having with your playlist only shuffling 20 songs. Where does your music come from? Are you an Apple Music subscriber? Can you test this in a second playlist? Can you test the same playlist from a different device?


You might want to check to see if you have "Repeat" selected. Check out Shuffle or repeat songs in Music on Mac.


Looking forward to details!
