In the last week, Sabrina Carpenter has surpassed Bad Bunny, Ed Sheeran, Travis Scott, and Kanye West on Spotify. We expect her to overtake Kendrick Lamar, Justin Bieber, and Dua Lipa by the end of the weekend on June 23rd, and Drake and Ariana Grande by next weekend—all before the release of her upcoming album "Short n' Sweet," scheduled for August 23, 2024. This surge in popularity has been driven by just two singles from the album, "Espresso"and"Please Please Please."

The rapid rise of Carpenter may interest not only fellow artists who she is steamrolling but also the entire music industry, fans and stans, and haters alike. Numerous Spotify users have taken to Twitter/X to express frustration over being inundated with Sabrina Carpenter's music. Users report that her songs frequently appear on their playlists and are often played automatically after their preferred tracks. Our investigation into this phenomenon reveals staggering results: "Please Please Please" occupies the number 2 position in 100% of the top 50 Spotify Artist playlists or their song playlists. In most cases, "Espresso" was found at number 8 on the same playlists.

The question arises: Has Sabrina Carpenter created two of the most viral tracks in history with "Espresso" and "Please Please Please," or is there another factor at play? A glance at Twitter/X reveals numerous comments on this issue. Many users complain about "Espresso" and "Please Please Please" appearing in various playlists, from Rap and 60’s playlists to Spotify’s AI DJ. "Espresso" and "PPP" seem to be everywhere, and Spotify users are unhappy. A single tweet from a user complaining about Sabrina Carpenter’s omnipresence on their playlists garnered over 300k likes and 40 million views in under 48 hours. "PPP" has reportedly been playing after unrelated songs across all genres and decades.

Some fans speculate about the use of payola, the illegal practice of paying for radio song placements without disclosure. Others suggest that Sabrina Carpenter might have leverage over Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek. The theories and complaints are widespread. From our research, "Please Please Please" has taken the number 2 position in playlists for artists such as 21 Savage, 50 Cent, ABBA, Adele, aespa, Amy Winehouse, Angele, Arctic Monkeys, Ariana Grande, Artemas, A$AP Rocky, AUDREY NUNA, Ava Max, BABYMONSTER, Bad Bunny, Bee Gees, Benson Boone, Beyonce, Billie Eilish, Billie Holiday, Billy Joel, BINI, BLACKPINK, Britney Spears, Bruno Mars, Cardi B, Chapell Roan, Charli XCX, Christina Aguilera, Central Cee, Coldplay, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Daddy Yankee, Dasha, David Guetta, Demi Lovato, Destiny’s Child, Doja Cat, Dolly Parton, Drake, Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, elise rose, Elton John, Eminem, Etta James, Fart Fest, Fergie, FIFTY FIFTY, FKA twigs, FloyyMenor, Frank Sinatra, Future, Glass Animals, Gunna, Gwen Stefani, Harry Styles, Hillary Duff, Hozier, Imagine Dragons, J Balvin, Jay-Z, Jeff Buckley, JENNIE, Jennifer Lopez, Joni Mitchell, Jorja Smith, Jung Kook, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Karol G, Katy Perry, Kehlani, Kendrick Lamar, Khalid, Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, Laufey, Lauryn Hill, LE SSERAFIM, Lil Nas X, Lily Allen, Macklemore, Madison Beer, Mahmood, Marshmello, Martin Garrix, Maroon 5, Meghan Trainor, Metro Boomin, Michael Buble, Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus, Mitski, Myles Smith, Neon Trees, NewJeans, NSYNC, Olivia Rodrigo, One Direction, OneRepublic, Paramore, Paul McCartney, Pitbull, Post Malone, Queen, Rauw Alejandro, Rihanna, Rob Grant, Royel Otis, Rvissian, Sam Smith, Saweetie, Selena Gomez, Sexyy Red, Shaboozey, Shakira, Sherine, Sia, Soulja Boy, Spice Girls, Suki Waterhouse, SZA, Tame Impala, Tate McRae, Taylor Swift, Teddy Swims, THE ANXIETY, The Chainsmokers, The Kid Laroi,The Pussycat Dolls, The Ronettes, The Strokes, The Temptations, The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Troye Sivan, Tommy Richman, Tony Bennett, Tracy Chapman, Twenty One Pilots, Victoria Monet, WILLOW.

د نورو غیر معمولي وختونه "PPP" زموږ د لګولو لستونو کې شتون لري د انټرنیټانو لپاره لکه 21 Savage، 50 Cent، Eminem، ABBA، Bee Gees، Creedence Clearwater Revival، Etta James، Frank Sinatra، Queen، Sexyy Red، The Ronettes، The Strokes، The Temptations، او Tony Bennett.

په X / ټویټر کې د "PPP" په اړه یو کارن وګورئ وروسته د Fart ټریټ وروسته، موږ د Spotify په اړه "Fart" وګورئ او د Fart راډيو جوړ کړ، او "PPP" د Fart ټریټونو په منځ کې د 2nd موقعیت لري.

دا یوازې یو نمونې ده. د ټویټر / X په اړه ډیری Spotify کاروونکو په ورته تاریخونو کې شریک دي. یو کاروونکي، د مثال په توګه، د "PPP" په توګه د دوی د Eminem آرټیټیټ ریموډ کې د نمبر 2 ټریچ گزارش کوي، په داسې حال کې چې موږ لپاره، "PPP" نه زموږ په Eminem آرټیټیټ ریموډ کې، بلکه د Eminem د هودینی ریموډ کې. پایلې د حساب په اړه توپیر لري.

X کاروونکو په مختلفو حسابونو کې شریک شوي دي چې څنګه د "PPP" په غیر معمولي لوبې لستونو او شرایطو کې ښکاري. دلته ځینې تر ټولو ښکلي دي:

<pfseg id="0"> یو مهم ستونزه سره هغه څه چې Spotify سره Sabrina Carpenter پرومو ته کوي، دا دی چې هر وخت چې دا د غیر مربوطو لوبې لستونو کې یو کاروونکي ته "Espresso" یا "PPP" خدمت کوي یا د آهنگونو په اتوماتيک ډول لوبوي، محدود توجه او وخت به د هنرمند ته لاړ کوي چې Spotify فشار ورکوي، او نه د موسیقۍ چې باید په طبيعي توګه لوبوي وي. دا د نورو هنرمندانو څخه مخنیوی کوي، د لوی او کوچني هنرمندانو، په ځانګړي ډول انډی هنرمندانو ته اغیز کوي چې هر شنونکي، فان، او د ریلټونو مهمه دي چې پای ته ورسیږي. پایلې مهم دي؛ موږ اندازې کوو چې د سابرینا Carpenter پروموشن د نورو هن

د وروستیو میاشت کې، Sabrina Carpenter له 58 میلیونه میاشتني گوشونکي څخه 74 میلیونه ته وده ورکړي، د 16 میلیونه زیاتوالی. هغه په وروستیو کې په ورځ کې د 1.3 میلیونه نوی گوشونکي ته وده ورکړي. برسېره پردې، د Spotify په اړه د هغې د گوشونکي-د پیژندونکي بدلون کچه د 12.7٪ دی، په داسې حال کې چې د Spotify په غوره 20 هنرمندانو لپاره متوسط 72.5٪ دی. د دې لیکلو په توګه، Sabrina Carpenter د Spotify په 14th لوی هنرمند دی. موږ انتظار کوو چې هغه په اونۍ کې د 10th لوی په توګه بشپړ شي، د Kendrick Lamar، Justin Bieber, and Dua Lipa په مختصر ترتیب کې، او د راتلونکي په اونۍ کې د نمبر 7 موقعیت ته ورسیږي، د Drake and Ariana Grande- د هغې د آلبوم وړاندیز څخه مخکې. لکه څنګه چې Spotify د خانم کارپینټر ته فشار ورکوي او هغه د نورو هنرمندانو څخه ګټه ورکوي، دا ډاډ د دغو هنرمندانو فایبرونو، او په ځانګړې توګه د هنرمندانو ځان، چې د دوی د خپل لوبې لستونو له خوا د Spotify ترټولو غوره هنرمندانو ته د موقعیت او ګټه کولی شي.

Given the significant impact on other artists and the user experience, Spotify has some serious explaining to do. The company needs to address the concerns of artists whose radio playlists are not just being overshadowed but are losing top positions to Carpenter's songs. This translates to lost revenue and listeners for these artists, which could severely impact their careers. Spotify may need to consider compensating for the lost revenue. Fans and Spotify users, too, deserve transparency and a fair listening experience. The current situation may even call for intervention by a regulatory body to ensure proper oversight and fair practices in music streaming. If Spotify continues the aggressive promotion, the potential for backlash grows, not only from users but also from the wider music industry. The need for a more transparent and fair approach to music promotion is clear, ensuring that all artists have a fair chance to reach their audience. If these practices persist, they could fundamentally alter the landscape of the music industry, prioritizing algorithmic manipulation over genuine artistic discovery and fan engagement.
