I think they did some kind of spell because WYOCMWYH and other songs from AM always pop out in every random playlist 😂

who pay for it? they are under independent record label. their songs went viral on TikTok, became popular and got added to playlists. if they cared about records or charts then they would ask UK Chart to reset their songs to chart higher or pay US radio to play their songs so they could debut on The Hot 100, they didn't do it.

No, that sounds like talent and quality music.

It doesn't mean they didn't push their songs on Spotify, every artist does it and they are becoming bigger. Also, for the record, I'm a fan and didn't want to discredit their music by saying it's popping up in random playlists

I don't know if I'm supposed to understand that your husband is such a fan that all the streams come from him, or that your husband is one of the band members 

I'll go with the second option, it sounds more fun.
