Plz, nobody would listen to Tove Lo if it hadn't been for these playlists that spam her.

well, it does help for those nobodies but for big artists it is not like it matters that much.

you can use as much payola as you want but if the song isnt good/well liked people wont stream it

Spotify 'payola' is not the reason songs become hits. I literally heard Perfect illusion adds every 10 minutes not long ago and it completely bombed anyways

if people like your song they will stream it, it's that simple

Perfect Illusion was taken out of that list after 2 weeks because people didn't like it and it was bombing. Kneeney's Make Me for example was on Today's Top Hits for 2 months despite doing even worse.

Oh, also Adele's Water Under the Fridge is flopping on Spotify, yet it's still there

Spotify:
#35 United Kingdom
#84 Australia
#92 Worldwide
#101 United States
#107 Germany
#127 Canada
#132 Philippines
#136 Italy
#185 Netherlands

Gagz most def needs help, since her last her (Applause) was when Spotify was only starting to get big

And KIB flopped on radio. I don't see YOUR point

If label/artists can buy streams/radio play they can surely buy awards

That's literally the modus operandi when it comes to pushing songs. And has been for the last few decades.

Beyoncé winning 4 Grammys in the last 6 years doesn't parallel with label/radio relationships. It was just a bad comparison.

We don't need sales. Lemonade has more impact than that lil cute album that sold 20M copies.

Yes it does. The Weeknd is definitely using Spotify payola, and it clearly works as he just got 200 and something million streams in his first week

It was charting nowhere before the Spotify payola so Today's Top Hits is doing its job

Again, then why Gaga, Madonna etc. can't get radio hits? Why wouldn't they buy them?

Adele recorded a cute lil video with a 00s flip phone. Beyoncé sang about black power in front of thousands of white people.

There are The Weeknd banners literally everywhere and his songs are in most popular playlists.

[iHype.]

2010 probably has the messiest all-time AOTY noms though.

Album of the Year (2010)
Fearless - 73 on Metacritic
Big Whiskey And The GrooGrux King - 67 on Metacritic
The Fame - 71 on Metacritic
The E.N.D. - 60 on Metacritic
I Am Sasha Fierce - 62 on Metacritic

Silly SYGers, you don't buy awards. You sacrifice souls for them. Katy simply does not have it in her to murder another person. She wants to remain a Child of God.

Well for example The Weeknd has three songs () on Today's Top Hits (biggest Spotify playlist). Many people blindly play those playlists so the songs on the playlists automatically get streams.

It's like if a person played radio and every song (s)he heard would count as a stream.

SCAMti sorta won

Rihanna still sucks this era tho (def her worst- like MOTS bad)

How is her tour doing
