BTS teas

[Moonlight Nation]

Ooo...this is reminding me of those random songs by nobodies that managed to game the system back in late 2020-early 2021. In fact, the single cover for this one reminds me of the iconic Porky Slim.

 

 

Got all the way to #12 on US Spotify, confused every single chart-watcher, and then dropped off the face of the planet.

 

These are a few more I remember. First is this disco bop:

 

 

Then a song called "Barely Legal 2021" - an extremely questionable title, but it's actually a harmless trashy EDM tune talking about 'doing things that's barely legal'. Unfortunately, the song has since been deleted, with the only trace of it left on Spotify being a weird remix replacing the lyrics with verses in another language.

[St. Charles]

Spotify

[Zylo]

83% filter rate is taking me out 

[Rev8]

Well that's literally how Travis Scott got so big

his manager even exposed it

 

 

these stans themselves can make songs go up easily

so imagine what stars with Money, are actually doing

I saw this earlier and thought it was a song gaining traction on tiktok (though I use the app all the time so I was surprised I've never heard of it) and went to check and the sound has only 2 videos with one of them being by the producer himself ☠️

Yeah I've always been suspect of validity of Spotify numbers. Way too easy to game the system and create album "units". 
 

Spotify should make their streams private. Enough is enough. It's not information anybody needs.

Doesn't this show that it's not actually easy to game and create units, considering they successfully filtered them? 99.99% of artists aren't trying to game this egregiously, so their usual filters seem to work well.

How do you determine the filter rates of songs charting outside of Spotify's 200 chart?

Just in time for the KP6 lead

It's probably a rich kid who paid a ton of money (like, hundreds of thousands possibly?) for bot streams. Would've been better of paying for Instagram ads that can actually build a fanbase and drive organic streams. Bot streams will destroy your algorithm on Spotify and you can even get banned/removed.

[Britney Spears]

Leftover Max though. Sounds like a Katy Perry alias

[KatyPrismSpirit]

does spotify not have some sort of protocol against this type of fraudulence?
