The stay earns its keep in release week — not as a vanity header.
Spotify can tell followers that something new is out. That notification is the reason this cart exists. A follow pack on an artist who has not released in a year is a number on a quiet profile. A follow pack in the same week as a single, an EP, or a playlist pitch you are already doing yourself is a stay that has somewhere to go.
The header count is secondary. People who already know the name barely look at it. People who just heard the new track might. Buy the stay for the release, or do not buy it.
