Just some context: DN is a financial newspaper in Norway, pretty important and trusted, if slanted towards "business" points of view. NTNU is the second biggest university in Norway, focuses on science, and is well-regarded. DN somehow aquired some files that purports to be logs of songs played in Tidal. The numbers in those logs seems to match up with other reported numbers, but Tidal denies the logs are genuine. Researchers at NTNU analyzed the logs, and found that if they are genuine, then data was manipulated to boost play numbers for Kanye West's and and Beyonce's albums.
