Thought this was a sick burn, until I realized the track length.
Comment on How is it possible for this track to have so few plays on Spotify?

AFAIK to count as one play, a song needs to be played for more than 30 seconds (source: friend used to work at a record label), so to me it’s surprising it has any plays at all.

Might have been from before that was enforced or a temporary bug.

Or # of people that listened to the entire album twice.

I’m sure they’re absolutely not allowed to tell anything related to this to the public ;)

No I’m sure they’re under NDA, but this specific example doesn’t seem like it would provide anyone trying to game the system any insight the numbers don’t already provide, unless it was something like “the real counts are zero, the numbers are inflated.”
IOW doesn’t seem like a big deal. But I can understand most Spotify devs not wanting to risk it.

Maybe people listening at half speed? 😂
