base talk What the **** is happening on Spotify?

[YellowRibbon]

Also, I'm trying to see a pattern... Are all these artists under a common label or distribution deal? .... How's Gustavo Lima at #26 in Saudi Arabia out of NOWHERE

I'd bet on VPNs to game the system and inflate numbers with a playlist, I'd say the person must be brazilian, because brazilian artists are popping around the world charts since yesterday. #1 in Saudi Arabia is a brazilian artist whose song is not even a hit here. Probably the work of one person and not label related 

[Strawberry Bubble]

okay this is sad

[Tusk]

Her private concerts over there are finally paying off.

Mmmm that's interesting... It's just very confusing because between Discovery Mode being ON for most of the releases that MPGs have done this year(when random catalogue tracks rise a lot on the first Sunday following a new album's release just to collapse on Monday + these random khias getting 14M unfiltered streams in a day with an 85% filter rate, Spotify really must have watered down the boys filtering.

I have a feeling people are always constantly trying to game the algorithm. Spotify fixes it and filter these things, then they find a way to game it again. It might not even be stan-related, but computer nerd related just for fun. But yeah streaming farms by labels also exist, and so does fans using VPNs for streaming parties. I don't know how the algorithm works in Spotify, but maybe it's not as good for some regions in comparison to others. I don't think what we are seeing today is label related, unless we're watching different activities goin on at the same time

Do you really keep this close an eye on an album's spotify stats you clearly don't like? 

 

OT: I believe this was already posted. 

[dumbsparce]

Another day, another Beyonce fraud. At what point do her blind stans realize that wherever there's smoke there's fire?

[ShadeIena]

She's really local for anglophone countries and Brazil. Surprised tho

me about taylor releasing new variants of her album with an extra audio

 

 

yasss the payola is finally hitting 

[Bonicap]

Spotify is a mess, but they don't mind fixing it because only a bunch of nerds are closely looking at this. No repercussions in the real world for their fraud.

There are many accounts that post stats for more than one artist. Nice attempt to divert the attention from this fraudulence though

 

 

[KingWitch]

Hmmm this disgusting but if someone could point me to how they do this for future reference

the same weird ass users coming to drag bey.

yeah jay z definitely paid good money for a measly +3k boost in *checks notes* saudi arabia, you guys are very smart as usual ! 

 

Oh pls. If she can do it in Saudi Arabia then she is doing it in other places too. We just caught her payola in that country because that country rarely plays music.

[Papi Juancho]

Columbia is probably testing its streaming farms, preparing for its next big announcement. Harry? Miley? Adele? Rosalia?  we just need to wait an see

[toxicgenie]

Plan D: Turn on the streaming farms.
