Blaqbonez Exposes How Some Artirs Chart In Top 20 Without Listeners
Rapper Blaqbonez has spoken out once more on how some musicians may stay in the top 20 without having their music heard.
In an interview with Cool FM 96.9, Chocolate City rapper Blaqbonez discussed how anonymous musicians are holding onto a top 20 spot without having fans or listeners who genuinely push these songs organically up the charts.
Following the successful release of his hit song Ice Spyce, the rapper is currently on a media tour. He stated that several musicians who consistently rank between 10th and 20th on Nigeria’s Apple Music Top Songs chart do so with the assistance of stream farms.
Streaming farms conversations dominated social media trends in 2022 following the exchange of words between artists BNXN fka Buju and Ruger.
This deceitful practice, commonly seen globally but previously thought to be absent in Nigeria, has now emerged, raising concerns among artists and music enthusiasts.
Streaming farms are services artists and labels employ to artificially boost their streaming numbers on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.
These activities deceive listeners and create a false sense of popularity around certain artists. As a result, artists with low actual listenership can chart in the top 20, overshadowing deserving talents who have genuinely earned their fan base.
