Is there a way clear the “Continue playing” portion of the queue in iOS?

Prior to iOS18, I was able to use a Shortcut (Clear Playing Next) to clear the queue in Apple Music. in iOS18, there is a new "Continue playing" section that seems to be populated when playing an album or playlist. I can't find a way to clear this. The shortcut no longer works and there isn't a "Clear" button in Apple Music on my phone.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18

The shortcut isn't working for me, either. I even tried re-creating it, but it still wouldn't work.


I did find that pressing on the 'Now Playing' item, I will see a list of upcoming songs. I can then left-swipe on each song and choose 'Remove'.


I don't see a way to clear the 'Now Playing' item. (The song isn't playing; it's just there with the buttons to play it.)
