Who’s 24kgolden

Do thread payola next! How many ppl now know of 24kgolden bcuz of u

haha we definitely on the same wavelength with that too

I am hoping to turn this into a full website with full Spotify data and one of the ideas I had was to use copyright info to determine if they were on a major label so I could compare

if you have any ideas for semi-major independent artists I can pull up some data rn to anecdotally compare

dude is definitely getting that label push but how the f*** do yall not know who 24kgoldn is

goddamn this site is out of touch

he literally has the #6 song in the country this week lmao

Exactly

This says a lot lol.

Has the 6th ‘biggest’ song in the country yet we don’t know who tf he is.

Dude screams "plant"

Bump

they setting up mulatto to take megs spot

He's openly signed to Columbia so how's he a plant

Also clickfarms aren't dead OP. Look up botnets because I'm sure labels use them.

I don’t think streaming farms really make sense for labels to use

They can generate 20 million streams just by getting songs on certain playlists

To have to VPN constantly and simulate user patterns in order to get around Spotify filtering is costly and overly difficult

Ktt generally uses plant to mean artist who’s getting a significant label push

mgk won

They don't need to use a vpn with a botnet. A botnet is basically a network of computers that are infected and can be taken over to perform whatever action the hacker wants. You can pay for these services (or create your own botnet) and I'm sure labels do.

Ahhhhhh I get what you mean

Yea I’ve seen reports of people Spotify’s hijacked to play certain songs so I’d probably agree w you there

I don’t think it happens on a massive level though - playlisting lets labele basically force people to become fans of the song/artist so it’s more valuable than just forcing streams

I mean it's a really useful tool to run up the first week streaming/album sales numbers.

Yea I think that makes sense
Also to give songs some legitimacy before pushing them to playlists

Great thread, really interesting.

i have a free deezer account, and every time i log on, there's a paused song in my now playing that i didn't select

They could have just had access to your account and used a botnet to log in and add it. Although if you think there is a chance your computer is compromised you better get that s*** fixed asap.

If I can get access to a full data source I’ll be able to go back and look at playlist reach on this date which will be super interesting

Problem is that music data sources are impossible to find or cost $1500 a year for access
