I personally would expect only one song if I asked Alexa to play a song. Try "Alexa, play music" to get more songs.
Sorry I asked Alexa to play Coldplay Albums ... it only plays one song... when it chooses its own play list as stated before it only plays one song
I also just to make sure I wasn’t going mad ... said play music by Coldplay ..
Alexa replied shuffling music from Coldplay... it only played 1 song :?

I assume that if you use the app, it plays multiple songs?

Can you check if you have any other Amazon account logged in on another music app?
I have the same problem, even when asking it to play a playlist. I've moved to Amazon Music Unlimited to try and get around it and still the same problem 😞

Can I just check that you have set Amazon Music as the default music service in the Alexa App>Settings>Accounts>Music Services>Choose default music services. Also, are you using the syntax 'Alexa, Play x Playlist'

Also, if you have another music app logged into another Amazon account this can cause this problem.
