Burna Boy has revealed how some Nigerian artists use stream farming tactics to push their songs to the top of music charts. The Grammy-winning artist shared insights into the practice, which involves artificially inflating the number of streams or downloads a song receives, helping it reach high chart positions quickly.
While Burna Boy did not name specific artists, he criticized the practice, suggesting that it distorts the true popularity of a track and undermines the hard work and talent of other musicians. Stream farming often involves paying for fake streams, using bots or purchasing fake accounts to boost streaming numbers on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.
Burna Boy’s comments highlight the ongoing issue of chart manipulation in the music industry, especially as streaming platforms have become key drivers of success for artists. While some artists use these tactics to gain more attention and visibility, it raises concerns about fairness and authenticity in the music industry.
His statement has sparked a wider conversation about the integrity of music charts and the pressure on artists to use such tactics to compete in an increasingly digital and data-driven industry.
