A representative from Spotify has confirmed that the investigation is still in progress and that there has been communication with the label "Ble Records" as well as the distributor to notify them that royalties associated with the tracks in question have been placed on hold.
Furthermore, the representative indicated that should this situation continue, the artist may face permanent suspension from the platform, which could result in the removal of all his music.
In addition, Goss has been advised to retract any content that promotes unauthorized activity.
Spotify has also announced its intention to eliminate the fraudulent streams and followers associated with the artist's account. The platform has introduced advanced artificial intelligence technology designed to mitigate such practices and has successfully removed over 75 million fake streams and more than 150 million fake followers to date.

They should have zero tolerance policy if you abuse the plaform your kicked off.
ReplyDeletePeople like Matt genuinely frustrate me. My son is part of an indie band that has dedicated three years to performing at small gigs, working hard and following all the right steps. Unfortunately, they receive minimal compensation for their music, often due to artists and scammers who exploit the system. As Danny mentioned, Spotify needs to implement a strict zero-tolerance policy: if you break the rules, you should be banned from the platform. It’s time to protect genuine artists and bring integrity back to the music industry.
ReplyDeleteIt's incredibly frustrating to witness Matt Goss blatant disrespect for the platform and the fan's that supports him. It's unacceptable! We can't ignore the fact Matt has tried to defraud money from the platform this theft. Have to say Matt not the only, american rapper Drake and his record label are facing serious legal battles in the U.S. over fake streaming numbers. This clearly shows how rampant dishonesty is becoming, especially with artists like Matt manipulating the system for their own gain. It’s infuriating that we’re left questioning the legitimacy of his streaming figures and follower counts , no one will ever believe him again. We need to put an end to this nonsense and demand accountability for the sake of the music industry!
ReplyDeleteSpotify needs to take action, i've just cancelled my subscription to the plaform.
ReplyDeleteThe platform should ban anyone who tries to abuse there policy.
ReplyDeleteMatt can't accept he is a failure and nobody in the industry like him.
ReplyDeleteHe needs removing from the platform. Scum bag😡
ReplyDeleteA untalented, wig wearing, Michael Bublé wannabe who in 35 years as solo artist sold less than 30,000 worldwide. This is why he has to buy fake listeners and streams 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteSpotify should ban the artist and remove the track. Also he should be hit financial penaties. only unsuccessful artist buy fake streams as its clear no one buying or streaming his music. It's clear he has personality disorder boarding narcissistic.
ReplyDeleteIts so sad when artist have to fabricate their streams and followers and Matt a sad individual.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing Dee Murphey post i submitted a report against the singer. They got back to me saying they had loads complaints about he singer and their Trust and Safety team were involved.
ReplyDeleteMatt is fully aware that no radio station will play his music and that he has very few streams. To create the illusion of popularity, he resorts to buying streams and faking likes. However, we fans see through the façade and know the reality behind his supposed success. Most of us have to come to accept the lie's and his narcissistic behaviour. He clearly is mentally unstable.
