News Summary:

On July 24, 2026, Spotify reportedly deleted more than 500,000 fake streams of Malcolm Todd's "Earrings" after the song quickly rose on the U.S. chart, with a $3 million Kalshi market for June's most-streamed song identified as the suspected motive; a former SEC lawyer indicated the use of bots might constitute a federal crime. Concurrently, Spotify began building a music-video ecosystem, aiming to restore the prominence of music videos that largely faded with the advent of streaming. Previously, on July 23, the company appeared to be developing a new tool for song identification, with text strings within the app alluding to the functionality and requests for microphone access. This development follows broader discussions on July 23 highlighting how consumers increasingly rely on subscription services like Spotify to access music, essentially borrowing rather than owning it, a shift from traditional physical media.

New Spotify updates change how forever pre-saves work

If we look back at the evolution of pre-saves, there was a time when they were all the rage, then they started feeling like a tickbox exercise that only moved the needle for artists with sizable audiences, and then came forever pre-saves (or lifetime pre-saves).

Can Winamp Ride the Retro Tech Wave All the Way Onto Spotify’s Private Beach?

This week brought the news that Winamp—remember Winamp?—is planning to relaunch next year as a sort of one-player-for-everything app, with an integrated streaming service provided by French company Deezer along with the capability to play music from “users’ local music libraries, internet radio stations, podcasts, personal cloud-based collections and other audio sources.” In one way, at least, this feels like a weirdly appropriate time for Winamp to rise from the dead.
