Activity fluctuates. The site tries to catch as much of this as possible but sometimes ratings/charts slip through the net (& it's not always clear-cut that gaming is going on, even after checking thoroughly). When gaming is identified, the accounts are normally banned and the ratings disallowed. Generally speaking, gaming is a problem across the whole internet and not just on BEA (Amazon reviews, TripAdvisor etc), so we just have to minimise the effects as much as we can (I don't think it's possible to prevent it entirely).

Thanks for reporting. The activity has now been investigated and some accounts have been banned for gaming.

It leaked (albeit in poor quality), and all the ratings are since the leak. So it's not a clear-cut case of moderation needed. People who aren't stans will wait to listen until the official release, and then the rating will go down.
