KPOP and Spotify payola

Quote from thelightoftruth

I know everyone likes charts but stuff Spotify.

Youtube music/premium is better IMO.

It's more expensive though. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I used to get Magnetic wjhile listen to random ass Japanese idol project songs

It actually makes more sense that having Billie Eilish while listening to kpop. And if you’re on this forum, that means you listen to kpop anyway so it makes sense you got the biggest kpop song.

I so agree with this. Haven't used spotify in more than an year now.

YT Premium is just better for the money.

I find the sound quality much better on Spotify than on YouTube Music.

In the same way, Hip Hop songs sound better on AM but usually pop songs sound better on Spotify.

To answer another poster, Spotify does count non organic streams. It’s what they call unfiltered streams but artists are paid on filtered streams.

Yeah I got espresso too but not Billie.

As for kpop songs I got Magnetic and before that NJs songs quite often BUT I know the algorithm tends to pick songs related to what you listen and as a moarmy who listened to LSRF and NJs a little (although less now), I think they do tend to pick Hybe songs (I also get Enhypen BND SVT) but aside from that, they still might have get a push.

I think the most random kpop song I had was Pandora by MAVE, i'd never listen to it once and it was on autoplay every time.

I had to google it, $3 per month difference in Aus.

IMO so much more worth it for the ability to skip Youtube ads. But I guess it depends what people use more.

I left Spotify because of these things they do etc. Apple Music for me ~~

I used to be with Apple Music along time ago.

They don't have recommendation section like Spotify's Release Radar and Discover Weekly.

I don’t mind that, I can search other places for recommendations.

espresso finds its way to me in all music streaming apps i use (yt music and spotify). and i always skip it so the algorithm is not working my way. i guess it could be feeding off from the fact that it's a popular track right now but idk idk

Well if it happened once it would've made sense, but it happened on over 10 songs of diff genres. It's nawt just because I listen to kpop

I usually see this happening during Shuffle too.

I usually play my personally created playlist with my songs, and the shuffle would randomly throw songs that are not in my playlist.
