The Weeknd new song has gained +40 million views in just 4 days, are they fraudulent?

Like how tf is it possible when youtube is dead for english music and this song is not making barely any noise. Also, the number of likes and comments don't match the views.

ย 

For reference, Sabrina's Taste, an actual hit with a viral video, has only gained +65 million in over 3 weeks.

I think The Weeknd uses he/him pronouns.

I think the OP referred to the views with "they"

It's already been discussed here... Apple is using his music video as an ad to market their new iphone so every time you watch the ad it counts as a view.

It's being used as an ad for iPhone 16. But it's just wasted promo cause the song is clearly not sticking on streaming (for the moment)

The way it's gaining extra streams because of YT ads. It's gonna become the new Dope. :deadbanana2: Also folks need to invest in adblocker :coffee2:

But this doesn't make sense. The ad is not the same clip as the music video, so it doesn't count towards it's views. Olivia's get him back also had a similar deal but the music video's views were normal.

ย 

It seems more like bots. The video is getting 2mil daily views in India, Mexico and Brazil but is out of the top 20 in the US, UK, Canada etc...

He wants another Blinding Lights so badย

another reason for yt premium.

ย 

are those views filtered out by billboard? because watching 12s of ad shouldn't count as music consumption. do they even have metrics to do that?ย

Assuming these numbers will count towards the charts, very. I guess shot on iPhone will be the new releasing variants

Yeah I thought of this too but I assumed they requested the ad to somehow count towards the music video views? No way they are using bots just for a music video that's basically an iphone ad like I don't see the benefit ๐Ÿ’€

But how do you explain the disproportional distribution between countries? It got ๏ผž90% of the views from 4 countries: Mexico, Brazil, India and Germany, the rest the world didn't watch YouTube these pass few days?

his not even in the top 10 on spotify or top 20 on AM US and only 400k likes on YT it should have at least 1m+ with those kinds of numbers. When I just checked the likes I got an ad for his mvย :rip:

But it could be bots also

I believe so, theres simply no way.

ย 

But on the other hand, the song was in the apple event which could've promoted the song a lot.ย
