Hes gonna do decent first couple of days streams for album on spotify regardless, even if he is more popular on Amazon atm

Yeh I agree. I was being sarcastic as Bjork likes to push the view that being successful on Amazon isn’t legitimate

It isn't when you ask Alexa to play music. If you think Amazon is an unbiased outlet, good for you.

Edited September 11Sep 11 by Bjork

And Spotify playlist like NMF or just playing top 40 etc arnt biased 🤭

Think there's way more people who ask Alexa to play music than those who put any of Spotify's own playlists on tbf. That being said the amount of people on Amazon using their own playlists vs asking Alexa for music is probably pretty balanced

What’s the difference between curated playlists on Spotify which are dominated by certain artists in comparison to Alexa playing a curated playlist?!

With 117,896 units accumulated in its first two weeks, "Man's Best Friend" is sure to enter the top 40 this week.

Bar will be about 65k so he should

There's a couple copy/paste typos I think for Piano Man and Gracie Abrams totals
