Can’t overwrite javascript array

I want to track changes of “results”. If the results.length increases, the array will be overwritten and saved. If the length decreases, then the array will be overwritten, but the new value won’t save.

playlists = [];
results = simpleMysqlQuery();
setinterval{
    update(playlists, results);
}

function update(playlists, results){
    if(playlists.length != results.length){
        playlists = reWritePlaylists(results, playlists);
    }
}

function reWritePlaylists(results, playlists){
   results.forEach(function(item, i, arr){
      playlists[i] = new Object();
      playlists[i]['id'] = results[i]['id'];
      playlists[i]['name'] = results[i]['name'];
   });
   if(playlists.length > results.length){
      playlists = playlists.slice(0, results.length);
   }
   return playlists;
}
