This past weekend streaming giant Spotify created a firestorm in the music industry, particularly the indie music landscape, as it removed thousands of songs from the platform.
The take down of an estimated 15,000-plus tracks has been attributed to Spotify’s continuing efforts to curb fraudulent and illegitimate streams.
While not being entirely limited to, the removal of most of the songs were those that were distributed via Distrokid.
At this point Spotify and Distrokid have pointed the finger at each other for the take downs.
However, the furor and anger displayed from affected artists have flooded the two companies’ artist relations departments.
Check out the very informative video below from YouTube content provider KDMR Music.

Frpm DistroKid:
Recently, Spotify removed music from their service due to suspected “artificial streams.” These takedowns were distributor-agnostic and affected music from all distributors (not just DistroKid).
And though DistroKid wasn’t involved in the takedowns, we exist to help artists. So I figured a “behind-the-scenes” look at how artificial streaming most commonly happens can shed light, and help artists avoid these situations in the future.
Here’s a common situation:
A playlister, marketing service, publicist, advertising agency, manager, etc., tells an artist “for $300, we’ll help you get more streams.” These services often look legitimate, with seemingly good reputations.
The artist sends money to aforementioned service.
The service (or playlist) then employs bots (fake listeners) to boost the number of streams to the track or playlist.
The artist thinks “wow it worked!” and sends more money.
Rinse & repeat.
Unfortunately, this type of thing is becoming more popular, and has ensnared many smart, talented, and well-meaning artists who had no idea these marketing services were up to no-good.
Every month, Spotify & other streaming services detect fraudulent marketing services and playlists, remove associated tracks, and email a list of affected tracks to distributors (so your distributor can notify you).
If you got an email notice, it’s possible you (or someone on your team, or a friend, or fan) used one of these fake marketing services. It’s also likely you didn’t know that the marketing service (or playlist) was generating fraudulent streams. Which is a super bummer situation (for you and for your distributor).
