Is spotify mad that Nicki did the Queen Radio with Apple? We all know how petty spotify is. Queen wasn't even an exclusive  

Just another reason why AM will remain the superior service.

It's doing mediocre in AM too compared to Cardi's

Maybe because Nicki isn’t as trendy anymore as other recent big urban rihleases? 

She is and you know that.

And it's not spotify's job to decide that on release week. Let people decide.

They are entitled to pay her dust if she's supporting their main competitor. This is not the StAn WoRlD its business. 

But Queen wasn't an Apple exclusive.

Drake also has a radio show on Apple.

At least give her the same treatment as all the SoundCloud rappers.

We always have this kind of conspiracy whenever someone is underperfoming in Spotify.  

It's conspiracy when it only happens once. But this has happened countless times. People who follow streaming, not just this week, can attest to that. The CEO was even asked about this directly. 

The bigggest release of the week and she doesn't even have a desktop banner, as someone pointed out. Cmon!

 

 

 

This isn't the first time they've done this and they will do it again. But y'all wouldn't know because you're only here on the Nicki hate train, not because you care about streaming charts.

We don't know that. Cardi positions were better because she wasn't competing against a Travis Scott album.

If you were to look at the landing page of Spotify (on desktop and mobile), you'd have no clue she has a new album out.

 

Nicki was trending WW on Friday and it's been well known she's been pushed back to August 10th.

 

Her streaming numbers are fine but these excuses make it seem like she's flopping and she's not.

 

barbie dreams needs to close out this era.

[liberalmusiclover]

Queen is looking to get blocked with these numbers. She could’ve done so much better had she release Barbie Dreams with a viral-esque video on album release day to get those controversial streams.

Right. And then feel free to drag the Tracy Chapman hater. She deserves every drag.

 

But spotify being shady again needed to be called out

That's a bad excuse when it comes to A list artists.

Maybe for up and comers but A lists artists ARE the competition.

There's no need to compare a new artist to an established artist though.

The excuses are not necessary. It's business and isn't Travis still doing better.

Nicki usually wins the long games. This isn't a pop emergency.

It's insane

not really...it's solid. She didn't have a hit going into this release other than a song that isn't on the album.

 

The long game is what will matter for Queen not an album with 4 misses and no hits yet. Nicki is a promoter. the long game will work in her benefit.

This is mainly stans and hip hop lovers right now since there is no smash hit.

I thought everyone knows that you have to pay for all those spotify banners and playlists? 

 

There is no such thing as free promo honey. It’s her label’s fault for the lack of promo.

She is currently the #2 artist on kworb behind drake and #3 artist on streaming behind Drake and Travis. She is trendy. Don't be so hateful  

We don't know her numbers yet. Wait until HDD to drag her, but let's not pretend that what spotify did is ok

Not even defeing her streaming numbers but literally there's no mention of the album anywhere on the landing page.

It's listed as the 7th album in the 'New Releases" Section and there's no mention in the "New Music Friday" playlist cover or description.

Looking at it now, at least "RapCaviar" mentions her in the playlist description and has a couple tracks on there but still..

 

Irregardless of her numbers on Apple Music, she at least has the lead banner there.

isn't "new music friday" updated every friday night? Her album wasn't even out by then 

[Taylor fanboy]

Did Spotify even spam Nicki though like they did to Drake?

[Chemical X.]

Spotify only spammed Drake because they were trying to beat the one-day streaming record. Even with all of that, Apple Music still won out.

 

No one else will get that type of promo unless there’s a Spotify vs. AM battle for some type of record.

[Jacob.23]

Spotify fights streaming wars at the cost of the artist. Their business practices are kind of shady.

Sigh, pop is really over streaming wise. I remember when there were nothing but pop songs.
