ah the good old days, where instead of recommendation algorithms you had some guy deliberately adding more popular artists' names to songs so you'd accidentally download them and broaden your horizons a bit

shoutouts to whoever mislabeled Chylinska as Rammstein in 2001 btw, you made me like 5% cooler

That’s how Soulja Boy boosted his numbers. He would upload his own songs and rename them to popular ones lol
