How to Hack the Spotify Algorithm (seriously, this works)

What’s the Song Called in the End of the Video

Update, the artist no longer seems to exist, so they likely got taken down for this or were dropped by their distributor.

The report button is also back again, so not sure if it's just not visible to you or it has returned since this video was published, but it's back again at least on my side :)

I remember it used to be on the show credits part at some point, but I assume it just moved.

NOTE:
Spotify can and does take away revenue from Artists that go against the terms of service.
This doesn't go to spotify either, but just means that this revenue from subscriptions and ads gets fed back into the pool.

Yeah, this is also illegal, as well as all distributors I'm aware of have a checkbox for each release you need to check where you specifically confirm you're not using anyone name or likeness without permission.

This is a clear violation of the terms of service of Spotify as well as most likely any distributor you're working with.

DO NOT DO THIS!

Some distributors will not confrim such lying. They seriously check the artists before they submit it

A band named Willow released a song and it ended up on everyone’s release radar (and Willow Smith’s artist profile). And then it started trending on Twitter because people thought Willow Smith had dropped a new song and were sad that it wasn’t her

I saw Kodak black had a new song I clicked on it and listened. Smarkow Ft Kodak Black song has about 229,720 streams so far and no Kodak is not on it lol

The song was removed just checked

Yo what do you use to edit videos?

About to get some stuff since I got hired to edit for a channel. Or if you make a video that’ll help too cuz I can just use the affiliate link if you have any.

Wow...a very scummy cheat code

They do make you confirm? I made a song w a large band they won’t let me upload it

Was tempted but I only have one song out so I’m not tryna risk anything for plays lol

yea my boy doesnt really make music he just features on my songs for fun but i included him as a featured artist and it was the same name as some korean band and it got like 600 extra streams from discover weekly Lol

This happened with playboi carti a couple years ago and the guy got a few hundred thousand plays it was nuts

fire video. fire thumbail. 🐐🐐

I see it all the time and I hate it. its messing up release radar for me and they stay on there for a long time and I hardly use RR anymore because of it.

This is old af it’s not “hacking” they’ve taken down peoples accounts for this but they are consistent w/ it

Mannn this is gonna piss off a lot of big artists 🤣🤣

gonna put mmxvii as a ft for my next song

Definitely an awful idea to try lol
