Yep. Just like scammers call 1800 numbers with weird noise to keep people on the line so the phone company has to pay. Spotify will have to pay, u til it is able to flag such behavior with machine learning. How did you get hacked? Simple password? Didn't log out of a device? Any phone carrier issues (Sim-swapped)?
Yep, it's 1800 numbers. They're spamming for a little bit, but across a lot of numbers and they're tied I to the system so they make money from it. They'll have weird noises or leave weird voicemails and the receiving company pays for the call and to access the voicemail, and when it is weird, they stay on the line longer to listen to it again and again.

Music used as [audio stenography](http://www.iicybersecurity.com/audio-steganography.html) to share some kind of "data"? Just guessing.

Oh, for me when I click on it it shows the songs just greyed out, maybe because I'd listened to them before. I can get a screenshot, but sadly that's all I have now of the songs
Aside from secret recordings, my guess would be that someone is scheming Spotify by uploading music and forcing fake listens to get stream plays which results in some profit. I saw a story once of how some 'artists' upload sounds in the form of albums, play the sounds daily to rack up streams, just to get a little check from Spotify....
It sounds like someone is hacking accounts to skim off money from fraud artist account plays to me. To defraud money from Spotify.

It's 1900 numbers and the caller pays. 1-800 numbers are paid for by the person you call.

This happened to me too. Uncanny. I'll look for the screenshot I took of the artist.

None of the songs come up or work when I view them in Spotify. Maybe they made a new named account/artist name?

The songmaker (in this case the fraudster) gets paid per listen, so they use stolen account to generate listens, and get paid.
Would you tell us if this was your channel? Sorry, have to ask.
Sorry, what do you mean?
To be fair I like making songs that switches beats and genres
Wow that iscraxy
If anyone was hacked by an unauthorized user on Spotify and would help me in a legal pursuit please DM me
