Apple Music Guide

Apple Music is less filtered than Spotify since it is a premium only subscription.

Share song links on your SNS platforms as charts track shares.

DO NOT USE VPN. VPN streams will not be counted. Normal streams will help to chart in your local region

Charting

Streaming

Although Apple Music is an iOS app, you can stream on iOS, ANDROID, & PC.

If you buy the title track and album on iTunes you must DELETE THE DOWNLOAD FROM APPLE MUSIC to have your streams count. Otherwise, your “streams” are the same as if you were playing a CD.

Not sure if streaming correctly? Check out “International Streaming Guidelines” to make sure playlists are created correctly! Fanbases will also provide focused playlists to use.
