chart manipulation in Finnish iTunes?

In my country, Finland, song chart top 200 has been filled with unknown artist albums (even google doesn’t know these artists or songs) for a week now. It looks like bots/chart manipulation to me. What to do?

Tiina,

There is a real artist named Raul Minor, although he is a bit obscure to be taking all the top slots in the country!

Not really clear whether it is some manipulation or a bug in the computations. In any case, you can be good citizen and advise Customer Service of this issue, using this link:

Yes I know. But all the 200 slots have been taken by him and a few other artists. There wasn’t one song from the. Local or global hits that have been released recently. It’s been a week now, and a few other songs have entered chart.

This is not the first time, it happens every once in a while. And all these albums are from Records DK. Always.

I checked, and all these unknown artists are under Records DK.

They are now taking on album chart too.
