For ENGENE who don't know how to use Spotify yet: Here's an introduction!
Spotify is an audio streaming platform which allows you to listen to podcasts and songs by your favorite creators or artists. By letting users create their own playlists and curate their listening experience, Spotify is one of the easiest ways to connect with your favorite artist or group.
Because the platform is used by over 500 million active users worldwide, tracking how many streams an artist gets is the easiest way to see how popular they are. Since it is used globally, a lot of charts such as the Billboard Charts or even your local charts use Spotify streams as a metric to determine an artists' placement on it.
If we want to help ENHYPEN get the awards they deserve , it is of utmost importance that everyone does their part in contributing to Spotify streams , no matter where you're from. Fighting! :)
In order to be able to listen to a song on Spotify , you will need to either sign to a free or a premium account (the price can vary depending on where you're from).
Both forms allow you to listen to songs, but there are quite a few disatvantages with the free version : You won't be able to skip songs or deactivate Autoplay. You also can't decide in what order you are going to listen to a playlist- unless you use the desktop version. Adding on to that, you will also have to deal with ads every 30 minutes.
The premium version doesn't have these issues and is easier to use. If you want to try out Spotify first before getting a subscription though, there is always the possibily of getting a one month free trial (or even a 3 month one, since there are deals sometimes, so keep an eye out ;) ).
Spotify counts 30 seconds of uninterrupted listening as one stream- it's important to not skip immediately after, though!! Doing this repeatedly will get you marked as a bot and your streams will get filtered, which is one thing we want to avoid.
Just think of streaming as listening to one ENHYPEN song - it's easy and truly nothing more than that, I promise ;)
ENGENE , Attention please!
Premium streams are weighted more heavily on Spotify and Billboard Charts- it is better to have 1 premium account that you use constantly instead of multiple free ones, since premium streams also get filtered less.
If it's possible for you, get a subscription or free premium trial a few days before an ENHYPEN comeback- it will help a lot!!
Streaming is the most efficient when using playlists- we have an active global Spotify fanbase which provides these for you, and there are often ENGENE who create personal playlists too!!
Check if those follow the proper order though- and if you want to stay on the safe side, just use those by @EN_onSpotify!
The one and only rules every ENGENE should follow are: Don't loop, don't skip (at least not before 30 seconds), do not use VPN/APK (the streams won't be counted) and actively engage with the app while streaming (this can be as simple as changing the playlist or adding a song to a different one!)
And, as always: Enjoy the music! Streaming should be fun. If you have any questions regarding how to properly create a playlist, dm me on Twitter/X or check out our fanbase! You can always ask fellow ENGENE as well. They will let you in on a few secrets that will let your streaming experience blossom ;)
