How to View an Album for a Song on a Spotify Playlist

Adding songs to your own custom playlists or following an existing playlist in Spotify is a great way to listen to songs that you’ve found that you enjoy.

In fact, the playlist feature is so useful that you may eventually find yourself needing to delete some of those playlists.
