Wizkid’s most recent track, “Dance,” seems to have been slammed by Apple Music, with some critics labelling it a “glitch.”
Fans woke up on November 18, 2024, to discover that Wizkid’s most recent hit, “Dance,” had fallen out of the top 100 after holding the number one position.
The massive deduction has led to speculations of stream deduction and drinking from the chart which are the most common heavy penalties Apple Music applies on streaming manipulation.
‘Kese’, released 15, November 2024, has the second lead single on Wizkid’s upcoming album ‘Morayo’, has enjoyed immediate success on streaming platforms reaching NO. 1 on the Apple Music Nigeria Top 100 just hours after its release.
Its disappearance from Apple Music Nigeria Top 100, has created a massive buzz online with some considering it a penalty for streaming manipulation while others think it might be a glitch from Apple Music.
By precedence, such deductions are penalties with Apple Music taking stronger actions in cracking down on streaming manipulations.
It’s remains to be seen if the song would rebound back to its prior chart-topping position as this would give credence to speculation of a glitch or perhaps, Apple Music has dropped the hammer of the biggest artist yet in their bid to stop stream farming.
