Spotify decides which track it is going to play next based on your Play Queue. The songs you add manually to the Play Queue take higher priority than the ones that are added automatically by Spotify when you listen to an album or a playlist.
If you’re looking to clear your queue to add new ones to play, the following post will help you clear your Play Queue list on Spotify across different devices.

Can you clear your play queue on Spotify’s web player?
Unfortunately, there’s no way to clear queue on Spotify if you’re using the service on the web.
When you click on the queue icon inside Spotify’s web player, you will be able to see the tracks that are in the queue and also the ones that will play after your current queue. The only way to clear your entire queue is by double-clicking the last track on the queue to play it.
