Inconsistent format with iTunes playlists on Mac

I updated to the newest Mac software, MacOS Sierra, within the first few days after it was released. I have also updated to the newest version of iTunes. All the playlists in the sidebar are in the 'new' format (pictured below):

But for whatever reason, the ONLY playlist that has not updated to this new format is my purchased playlist (pictured below):

I have checked for further updates, but everything has been updated. I have also restarted iTunes and my Mac, but neither seems to have fixed the problem. Anybody know how I could get this playlist to update and look cohesive and consistent with the others?

Not at my Mac at the moment, but there is a View option to view the playlists as "Songs" (what you want) rather than the default view of "Playlist" (your first picture). There is no way to change the default, so any new playlist you create you'll have to change the view to Songs (just once though).
