Apple music chart compromised, Chike alleges

Singer Chike has alleged Apple Music Nigeria’s top songs chart is compromised

In a recent interview on “Curiosity Made Me Ask” with Bae U Barbie, Chike stated that the top 10 and top 20 charts are frequently manipulated.

According to Chike, the charts are influenced by paid promotions rather than organic popularity.

He said: “Your Top 10 and Top 20 on Apple Music is rigged… Not all the time to be fair but most times.

“But will you even call it rigged? I think people are willing to do certain things in the name of promotion. Because I think with all the music going on around now is about visibility. If you don’t take it to people, they might not really see it.

“Right now, if I want to be top 10 on Apple Music, I can tell my guys ‘okay please spend $30,000’ and we will go to top 10. But then it’s not real. And don’t get me wrong, not everybody. But most times that’s actually what’s going on. So I’m not going to be spending to cancel against sometimes even people that have more money than me”.
