Wow, can we talk about how wild the music industry is getting? An artist's track, 'Earrings,' supposedly soared to #1 on Spotify's Global Daily chart with over 4 million streams. But then, almost overnight, over half a million of those streams were confirmed fraudulent and wiped clean, knocking the song all the way down to #4.
It's crazy how quickly perception can shift and makes you wonder about the legitimacy of charts and how much pressure artists are under to 'succeed.' Feels like a big blow to artistic integrity when numbers can be manipulated like this. What's even real anymore? https://stereogum.com/2504130/spotify-c… 🔗
