I got a notification from DistroKid stating this

Spotify has detected that the majority of streams on some of your track(s) were artificial.
As a result, the release(s) containing those track(s) have been removed from Spotify.
Your music has not been removed from any other streaming service and is still live everywhere else where you've chosen to distribute it.

I am not sure exactly how this happened as i have never paid for promotion and just been appreciative people here were hopefully listening. Has anyone else ever had this happen? if so how did you get your music back on? just re-upload?

Not using Spotify which is huge in America is not an option. Surf music needs to be everywhere!!! Cool
Here's where you need to go.

The second link above says:

It's likely you, or someone you work with, used one of these marketing services or was added to one of these playlists. It's also likely you didn't know the marketing service (or playlist) that you paid for was generating fraudulent streams. We know that's a bummer.

Please note that this affects tracks from all distributors. It has nothing to do with DistroKid. We are just passing along the information provided to us by Spotify and we haven't been given any additional information from Spotify other than what has already been provided.

The good news: if you are not using promotional services, you can re-upload your song(s) to Spotify using the same ISRC.

A new upload will make sure a new URI can be assigned to your release in Spotify for a fresh start. You can head to distrokid.com/new to start this process.

To provide feedback about any promotional services you have been utilizing, please use this feedback form so we can collect, review, and pass the information along.

To report any playlists you suspect may be related to this activity, please visit https://artists.spotify.com/c/playlist-reporter.

So resubmitting is an option. Let us know how it works out.

I’ve decided to resubmit so it should be back up soon. I’ve not used any services to boost plays. Just unfortunately was added to a playlist they didn’t like.

Let us know how it turns out. Could be helpful to some other SG101'er in the future! Merry Christmas!
