Report - FAKE STREAMS

[user-removed]

Hello, I'm here to make a complaint about a major problem in Brazil, which unfortunately, by circumventing the system, is attracting artists of all sizes and styles.

The strategy is simple: it's a list of 50 playlists playing x plays per day on each song, and to differentiate in some playlists they add 2 to 3 extra songs.

Below, I list all the playlists that practically run the same play per song every day, and the best part is that the numbers double on weekends.

Some of these playlists don't even have 1000 followers, yet the daily income on all songs is guaranteed, and it's even higher on weekends.

song 1: (24hours)

song 2: (24hours)

song 3 (24 hours)

How does it work? Most artists pay real playlists, pay partners like redmusic, which is from YouTube but only puts it on Spotify if YouTube is paid. They trigger this system, so on a Monday, it's possible to have 120,000 plays. If the song is editorial, it automatically enters the top 200 in Brazil. And on the weekend, the combo of playlists has the number multiplied by 3 or 4, and then you can get 200,000 plays. To help even more, there are artists paying medium-sized influencers to technically "explain," in some cases, they even pay people to simulate fan photos.

Please verify this!

A case that doesn't use this playlist system but makes use of a different system is the TOP 1 Brazil. It's not viral, however, on a Wednesday, it gets nearly the same amount of plays as on a Friday!

The song also doesn't have searches on other platforms; this is a case that only a detailed analysis from you will be able to identify, but I'll show the most obvious points.

today:

last friday:

The difference is visible as the genre loses over 30% of its performance during the middle of the week.

Furthermore, the song is not in the top 20 of the largest editorial playlist of its genre; it's number 23.

The song averages 300,000 plays per day on YouTube and accumulates fewer than 2000 comments.

daily:

pandora search:

Tiktok

Reels:

It's a decent number for a top 100, but for a top 1?

Meanwhile, we have a song that is top 1 on the video platform, top 1 in the largest Brazilian editorial on SPOTIFY, and top 3 in the largest playlist in its segment, with over 1 million plays per day on the video platform, totaling 900,000 on reels, and 1.2 million on TikTok, that can't seem to position itself in the top 10?
