Anyone else find it weird that the version of Luther on the clean album is the one going viral, even though Luther is already a clean song on the regular album?
I think it’s just a quirk of Spotify. There are multiple versions of every album just kinda floating around, but it’s still the same song on both albums.
Its actually the same song on both versions of GNX. To my knowledge Spotify allows artists to share streams between different versions of songs, which is why deluxe album songs can have a different album cover and still retain the same amount of streams. Same applies to clean versions of albums, you can keep the streams connected even though the song itself is different.
Yeah I was confused when I got into delta blues as most of it is public domain so you find the same recordings on hundreds of different albums, so you see one released in 2024 where one track has 50M streams and other tracks like 2k.
If you notice the post and think about though, this is just the modern version of people being obsessed with their own record collections. It’s a symptom of how we consume music now, and then the numbers get attached to it.
Cuz Spotify knows it’s the same song but they always pick out the weirdest versions of songs for that stuff. Like I rarely get the single version of a song on my wrapped. It’s always the album version, even if I listened to the single version more.
