Random 1000 plays from US, is it botting? HELp

Random 1000 plays from US, is it botting? HELp

Hi there, I am promoting my first album, it's indie folk, i am italian and the songs are in italian. As of promotion, I'm using meta ads (targeting Italy) and at some point i was eligible for a spotify campagin (i did like 150€ and it will end in 3 days, also targeting Italy).

Yesterday, I noticed at some point i was getting like 90/100 people streaming, never happened, so today when I got the stats I noticed that I had like 1000 streams on the first song on the album but all around US.

I have some streams from release radar and radio, i'll attach some pictures. (I can't apparently but the streams on the song from yesterday (apparently it's from the 16th, still can't see yesterday) in playlists are as follow:

Release Radar 191

Radio 64

Mixes 45

Daylist 8

Do you think I have been botted and if yes, why? I'm trying all the legit ways, so no shady playlisting, I tried submithub and groover with no luck (too niche i guess and i sing in italian, so not many options there).

What could have happened, should i report this?

Thanks a lot, it's the first time I'm trying to be serious about the music and investing money and time into the ads.

Honestly it's going great, starting from zero, but a bit worried about this.
