They weren't faked. The majority of that was actual digital downloads by the barbs who boosted it to No. 1. They only bought the single to help Nicki get a No 1."Trollz" had the biggest drop off for a single in Billboard history because the numbers were obviously faked.

Nah, after several decades of payola and other underhanded practices I'm sure labels have no part in faking streams. Just the fans.
