Sometimes labels release deluxe editions of albums to re-engage interest in a title, with new songs added. Granted, there are many albums on the Spotify format with incorrect release dates, though they’re mostly older titles that display the date they were added to the Spotify format, and not their original release date, and most are not modern releases like Experiment. However the boost seen on the charts would coincide with the featuring of Experiment by Spotify as a new release. PLEASE NOTE: The Billboard Albums chart runs a week behind the sales cycle, and Billboard also front dates their charts. This week-after the new release feature had ended- Experiment fell dramatically down in the charts to #9. The next week, Experiment had shot up to #3 on the Country Albums chart, and had a star beside it, denoting it as one of the greatest gainers on the chart (see below). Regardless of the real reason for the date change, that was still the end result.Ĭhecking the Billboard Country Albums chart, the week before the date change for Experiment occurred, the album was at #10 on the charts. Since Kane Brown has been the party to accusations of manipulating streaming markets in the past, this was the thought that ran through some people’s heads when they saw Experiment re-racked on Spotify.
Even more strange, when looking at all other formats, from iTunes to Amazon and anywhere else music is sold or streamed, the correct release date from Experiment of November 8th, 2018 is still posted.Ī conspiracy theorist might hypothesize that the release date for Experiment was changed on Spotify to send the Kane Brown album through the promotional cycle on Spotify for new releases a second time to embellish the streaming numbers and promote the release. As can be seen in the screenshot at the bottom of this article, the album was being promoted right beside Kenny Chesney’s single “Tip of My Tongue” released on July 12th, the new Chris Young single “Town Ain’t Big Enough” also released on July 12th, and Ryan Hurd’s Panorama EP released July 19th.ĭespite the easily-verifiable original release date for Experiment as November 8th, 2018, Spotify sent Kane Brown’s Experiment through the new release promotional cycle a second time, and currently has the album’s release date listed as July 12th, 2019. The record was released on November 9th, 2018, some nine months ago. What was strange about this particular incident is that Experiment by Kane Brown was not a new release at all. These suggestions are considered prime real estate on the streaming format since they can result in thousands or millions of streams for whatever is being promoted. The streaming giant regularly engages in this practice on landing pages and in suggestion feeds, matching a user’s streaming habits to whatever they think that user might be interested in that has just been released.
Promoting new releases by big performers in popular country is nothing new for Spotify. Beginning next month, he’ll join girlfriend Maren Morris on her headlining Hero Tour, and will also open shows for Thomas Rhett on his Home Team Tour later this year.A couple of weeks ago when many country fans were logging into their Spotify accounts or shuffling through playlists, they may have noticed Kane Brown’s latest album Experiment being promoted as a new release. Where the next chapter in this cinematic small-screen saga will lead remains to be seen, but in the real world Hurd recently signed a label deal with RCA Nashville, after scoring cuts as a songwriter with Blake Shelton, Ashley Monroe, Dierks Bentley, Tim McGraw and more.

In “Hold You Back,” Hurd wakes up with a post-coital hangover and assesses the aftermath by setting his love free for good.Įschewing the full-color palette of his previous clips, assorted lamps and bulbs flash on and off as Hurd laments, “It’s not like we got back together, we’re just coming back to the thing that we know.” But even as he’s setting her free, he keeps the door open for the future, adding, “If you ever come back to me, baby.
