In conclussion: by the aforementioned evidence, I think this artist has paid for a third party service to have his numbers ilegitimely inflated. If the number is pretty low in contrast to stream count (which is 37K as of now), I think that would be a definite display whether the artist has used illicit services.

I did a short investigation with tools that are widely available to anyone - Spotify application and Spotify for Artists. Hey, I have a reason to believe that this artist (spotify:artist:5uHdXtqI5H3T17ovMtkqWs) has inflated their streaming numbers by using illicit services of a third party.
