Spotify filters out millions of streams from Megan Thee Stallion's album

[Teletubby 150,920]

Megan Thee Stallion's new album "Megan" received more than 66M unfiltered streams this week but debuted below Dua Lipa's "Radical Optimism" (35M unfiltered streams) on Spotify's album chart.
The Weekly Top Album chart counts only filtered  streams (the total amount of streams, minus 'bot-like' streams).
It means Spotify has filtered out at least 30M 'bot-like' streams from Megan Thee Stallion's album.
 





it also lost over 40% of streams on its 7th day

What? What do you mean?

Can someone explain what a "bot-like stream" is and how do we avoid it on Gaga's next era?

[Schizophonic 7,015]

that means someone (label, fans, who ever) programmed tools/bots that simulated streams ... it's like buying followers on instagram. they faked the streams.
