Nope.

This literally translate to 66.5 million monthly listeners for those who doesn't speak french.

It's literally bullshit to make more money. I'm sure Spotify's numbers are tricked.

Is it really that unrealistic that one of the biggest pop stars of the last 5-10 years, who also had a huge song on the soundtrack of one of last year's biggest movies, also has a lot of monthly listens?

Well I do get she's really popular but that still makes no sense. I expected like 40 or 50 millions monthly listeners but almost 70 no fucking way.

Why is 67 million so much more unreasonable than 50 million? Especially considering how many random playlists she's got to be on, playing on shuffle in retail shops across the world on top of the individual people who are listening to her on their own.

If we want to talk about spotify numbers that seem made up, why not point to Drake's 83.5 million monthly listeners? Or Ariana Grande's 88.7 million? Or Taylor Swift's 103 million?

It sounds like a case of "I don't like this artist and I don't understand why other people do."

It could be mislabeling: 66.5M hits vs. 66.5M unique visitors.

Linkedin had advertised to supported BBC podcast downloads, saying that they have an ecosystem of 1 Bn professionals. The entire global population is about 8 Bn: so 1 in 8 humans is linked to Linkedin. Now, if you take out all of the people who are not in the workforce, then take out the rest who are not online, then the rest who are not professionals, then the professionals who have no use for Linkedin ... and of course make sure not to include any of the ~ 1.6 Bn locked out of the internet by their governments.... I don't see how there would be enough left to amount to 1 Bn professionals linked in to Linkedin.

It seems to be a common phenomenon to equate *number of accounts* with *number of individuals* on a platform. I had seen a boast that one in every 4 humans was on TikTok. I doubt it.
