Spotify Users Accuse The Platform Of Pushing Sabrina Carpenter’s New Song To Get Extra Plays

Spotify Sabrina Carpenter Please Please Please streaming

Sabrina Carpenter is having a bit of a ~moment~. The pint-sized pop star is riding high from some profile-boosting events, including opening for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, debuting her first 2024 hit “Espresso” at Coachella, and having boyfriend Barry Keoghan appear in her “Please Please Please” music video. 

Her two latest releases are now competing against each other for the coveted number-one spot on the Billboard Hot 100, but is her success all organic? Some Spotify users don’t think so. In fact, some are taking to X (formerly Twitter) to complain about being served Carpenter’s songs via the autoplay feature, even when they’re listening to a completely different genre of music.
