P
Playlisting : Playlisting refers to a song getting a wider audience reach on a streaming platform. Usually the term is used in the context of talking about Spotify. Playlisting is advantageous since it allows new audiences to check out ENHYPENs songs- the biggest playlists are usually also mentioned in content on social media platforms. ENGENE can influence the playlist reach an ENHYPEN song gets by streaming it and getting it into the Global Top 50- usually, the song is then featured on various countries' charts and also gets to the top of the charts it is already placed in- which means more visibility for ENHYPEN!
Q
R
Radio airplay: refers to the playtime a song gets on national radiostation. It is usually mentioned. when talking about the Billboard Charts
S
Stationhead- a streaming platform that is used by artists on release days. Fandom communities can stream together as well.
T
Tracking day/week : When talking about a streaming result, the tracking period means the hours in which the release was available on official streaming platforms. The more hours we have on the first official tracking day, the better! For example, Bite Me had 15 hours for its first day of tracking, while Sweet Venom had 19/20 (according to @EN_onSpotify) hours counting for the Spotify Global Chart. Since we don't know if the release will have a full day of tracking, we need as many ENGENE as possible streaming from the start.
Korean Tracking for Music Shows starts on Mondays- if we get Friday releases, its all the more reason to power through to get ENHYPEN those digital points!
U
V
VPN (Virtual Private Network): Using VPN while voting is a way to cast more votes than usual, since you gain access to diffrent IP addresses. Your IP adress is basically your WIFI ID, which apps like MNET+ use to identify you. The limit for MAMA voting per ID address was 3 in 2023, but do note that this might be subject to change. To be able to use a VPN, you will need to download an app to your device. Check the App Store or Google Play Store for free VPN providers.
