A. The article/post a chose was a instagram post claiming that Kanye West surpassed Taylor Swift to claim the number one spot on spotify’s top global artists chart.
B.I did some Backround research and on spotify it still said that kanye West was 8th in the world, while Taylor Swift being 2nd ( the weeknd was 1st). First I checked Spotify Charts and i search the week and the week before and after when they published the post (they posted it on february12 ). Kanye was on ttwo of the charts and still secong while Taylor swift was stil first, and was on all of the charts.
To make sure I checked the charts daily, instead of weekly. I check all the days near the 12th of feburary, and on the 11th Kayne west was first.
C. In conclusion it was true what the post was claiming, but only for their daily charts.
