Tuesday, Malcolm Todd — the Steve Lacy-esque alt-pop artist and brother to fellow rising star Audrey Hobert — was awarded his first #1 song on Spotify when "Earrings" topped the Global Daily singles chart with 4.165 million streams. However, after a Kalshi trader noticed something suspicious about the numbers, the streaming service confirmed fraud and deleted more than 500,000 of the song's streams, leaving it at #4.
