How to mark an album as 'favourite' without adding all tracks to the 'Favourites' playlist on Apple Music?

Apologies if this is in the wrong place but can you mark an album as ‘favourite’ without adding all of the tracks on the album to the ‘Favourites’ song playlist?

Update your Apple Music sync database

This stops album → song propagation.

Settings → Music → Sync Library OFF

Select: Remove from iPhone

Restart

Turn Sync Library ON

Now favorite the album again.

Songs should NOT be added to the playlist.
