STREAMING RULES FOR SPOTIFY

WHEN DOES IT COUNT AS A STREAM?
A stream is already counted after 30s. If you want to skip a song (advice would be after 35s or 40s) .
DO NOT SKIP THE SONG YOU WANT TO STREAM (it would hurt it's engagement & performance) --- listening to a song fully shows your interest and how good the song is.
Do NOT skip too often, only a few times per hour is enough!

VOLUME
The VOLUME needs to be at least OVER 50% but better if it's FULL on the Spotify app.
The volume from the SPOTIFY APP and from your Laptop/PC/Computer are different ones.
While the SPOTIFY one needs to have full volume, you can mute the audio of your PC/LAPTOP/COMPUTER.
BUT DO NOT MUTE YOUR PHONE!!!
The volume of your phone and the volume of the SPOTIFY APP are connected.
For your phone use headphones if you don't want to hear it.
DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW
Seriously so many only listen and like a song but forget to follow BP.
We want to give LISA the highest followers and the most liked song.
So when the time comes make sure to follow her and give her song a HEART.
To FOLLOW click either on FOLLOW or on the HEART next to the artists name.

TRY TO GET SPOTIFY PREMIUM
With Spotify Premium you don't have ads and can skip multiple times, without Premium you can skip only 6 times per hour.
(BUT remember do not overdo the skipping!)
PREMIUM streams also count more to BILLBOARD (US +GLOBAL)
If Premium is too costy try to get it only for the test months.
Currently SPOTIFY gives NEW PREMIUM USERS 1-3 months for testing.
You can use this FREE MONTHS when LISA'S SOLO comes out and go back to normal afterwards.
During testing the streams count as normal so no worries about that.

DON'T ACT LIKE A ROBOT, BE A HUMAN
You shouldn't constantly skip the same songs, nor have the same songs on endles repeat.
INSTEAD:
SKIP A FEW TIMES during an hour and CHANGE PLAYLISTS EVERY FEW HOURS,
In short: INTERACT WITH SPOTIFY

DON'T USE VPN !!!
USING A VPN TO CHANGE YOUR IP-ADRESS TO GET THE STREAMS HIGHER IN ANOTHER COUNTRY WON'T WORK AND SPOTIFY EVEN MIGHT BAN YOUR ACCOUNT !!
INSTEAD:
Share the link of the BP/LISA profile or playlists in different social media accounts and encourage people to stream,
ONLY USE OFFICIAL APPS FOR STREAMING
Make sure that you downloaded the spotify app from the OFFICIAL SPOTIFY site otherwise the streams won't count to any charts !!
DON'T USE NEWLY CREATED ACCOUNTS
Using a newly created account (an account you created 1 day before or during the streaming) makes Spotify see you as a bot.
Create a new account at least 1 week before the streaming, follow & listen to other artist in the meantime too, make the account look normal.
GIVE THE SONG A HEART
Giving the song a heart will add it automatically to your favourites which gives the song a good feedback.
TIP FOR STREAMING
Advise for streaming on PC/LAPTOP:
Use the SPOTIFY WEBPLAYER ( on different browsers & with different accounts), because then you can stream on DEEZER'S PC/LAPTOP APP and on YOUTUBE at the same time.
Difference between THE webplayer & pc/laptop app?
WEBPLAYER:
You can play a song directly on the web without downloading the app.
PC/LAPTOP APP:
You download the app, open the app and stream on it.
AVOID USING "SHUFFEL"
Turn off the shuffle button because it changes the order of the songs played on a playlist and therefore won't focus on the song you want.
ON THE SPOTIFY WEBPLAYER:
Both FREE and PREMIUM users can turn the shuffle button off.
ON PC/LAPTOP APP:
Both FREE and PREMIUM users can turn the shuffle button off.
ON MOBILE APP:
ONLY PREMIUM USERS can turn the shuffle button off
TURN OFF AUTOPLAY
Turn off autoplay to avoid spotify playing suggested songs after one of your playlists ended.
PC/LAPTOP APP:
Click on your "user name" at the top-right corner, then click on "SETTINGS". Now scroll down to "AUTOPLAY" and turn it off (grey = off; green = on).
PHONE APP:
Go to "YOUR LIBRARY" then click on your profile pic on the left corner at the top, the settings should now open. Scroll down to "PLAYBACK", then click on it. Now you have to scroll down to "AUTOPLAY" and again switch it off (grey).
USE different DEVICES FOR STREAMING
Use as many devices as possible and use a DIFFERENT SET of accounts for each one.
REMIXES OF SONGS
REMIXES count as a separate song, but the streams of the remixes and the streams of the main song will be combined for the BILLBOARD chart.
As remixes are seen as separate songs you can add them between the song you steam on playlists too. As we said before, 3-4 songs should be between the song you stream.
Playlist example:
MAIN SONG (the one you stream)
1.SONG FROM ANOTHER ARTIST
2.MAIN SONG (REMIX)
MAIN SONG (the one you stream)
1.SONG FROM ANOTHER ARTIST
2.MAIN SONG (REMIX)
3.SONG FROM BLACKPINK
MAIN SONG (the one you stream)
INTERACT with spotify
DON'T skip forward nor pause a track you stream.
BUT it is good to rewind some parts here and there.
Remember the more you interact the better
OFFLINE STREAMING
(only FOR PREMIUM USERS)
FIRST 24h:
You can download & stream offline too BUT REMEMBER the streams are only added when your our device is back online.
So when you stream offline do not forget to go back online BEFORE the 24h are over!!
FOR GENERAL offline STREAMING:

SPOTIFY CHARTS OVERVIEW
Spotify has many different charts, and here we will go into detail what the criterias for each are.
Most charts are based on the number of TOTAL STREAMS per day and the number of streams in each country, but the VIRAL 50 charts has additionally other aspects which influence the ranking.
The VIRAL 50 charts is bases on:
- how many streams come from different countries
- How often it got shared on SOCIAL MEDIAS
- How often a song got shared ON DIFFERENT SOCIAL MEDIAS
As you see sharing Lisa's solo will be extremely important. Share it as often as possible and encourage other LILIES to continue to share and stream it.
