Discrepancy between S4A Dashboard Stats and Public Monthly Listeners

My Question or Issue

I’ve noticed a major discrepancy between the data on my Spotify for Artists dashboard and what's displayed on my public artist profile. My Spotify for Artists dashboard reports 896 monthly listeners, while my public profile only shows 561.

I reached out to Spotify for Artists Support, but unfortunately, their response wasn’t helpful in clarifying this discrepancy. This inconsistency is frustrating since I rely on accurate data to track my progress and make informed decisions about my music promotion and strategy. With conflicting stats, it’s tough to know which numbers to trust or even how well my recent efforts are working.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any insights on why this might be happening or how I could resolve it would be greatly appreciated!

Same here. It happened about 4 days ago only. The discrepancy is almost half of what I have in SFA. Currently, I have 7,169 ML in SFA but in the app I now have 3,769 only, It's quite frustrating.

Why is my monthly listener count different on my artist profile?

We've detected artificial streams of your music, which have been removed from the public monthly listener count on your artist profile, but not from your private data on this page. If you have questions, including how this may affect your royalty payments, please contact your label or distributor

I have a track called Creatures of the night which according to my profile has 23k streams. My artists for spotify says I have 61k streams which is a huge difference. Does anybody have an idea why this is? I'm getting loads of 'mixes' streams at present but thats all I can think of.

My other tracks seem the same but not this.

Hey, I have the same issue. Yesterday my release was showing 50k on Spotify, but today it’s only showing 6k streams (Still shows 50k in Spotify for Artists). All of my streams were generated from Spotifys Algorithmic playlists.

I contacted Spotify support and they said they couldn’t support and directed my to contact my distributor to argue the case on my behalf to Spotifys content team. Doesn’t seem like I’ve gotten any answers and it all seems very concerning
