1. A method comprising:
generating a user interface on a computing device, the user interface including a playlist section that presents a playlist;
tracking how many times media content items having one or more particular attributes have been recommended to a user for playlist inclusion and, responsive to being recommended to the user for playlist inclusion, have not been selected by the user for playlist inclusion;
based on the tracking, establishing a score for the one or more particular attributes; and
using the established score as a basis to control what media content items to present in the user interface as a set of recommended media content items for addition to the playlist.
