International Streaming Guides

Multiple international and local/app charts rely heavily on digital streaming to determine chart ranking. While free streaming is available on some platforms, it is important to remember: premium streams weigh more than free streams on charts. Not to worry though, most streaming sites offer free premium trials. Check our list of streaming premium trials to get yours and get prepared!

Streaming Rules

NEVER use VPN to stream as those streams will NOT be counted. Normal streams will help to chart in your local region & Billboard global charts
Only stream ATEEZ tracks from ATEEZ official channels
Change and rotate playlists. Playlists should be ranged within 1.5 - 3 HRS. Check out playlists made by fanbases for various platforms.
Act human! Interact with the app / playlist every 20 min - 1 hr
DO NOT LOOP songs, albums, or playlists
- If you need to be away from your device, you can queue up a few different playlists
DO NOT MUTE
Turn off autoplay and shuffle
Listen to the whole song (don’t fast forward or skip)
Don’t follow the same template for every playlist you make – change up the number and type of fillers that are between the title track slots

Important!!!

If you are using strategies such as streaming the title track only 20 times on a Spotify account before swapping, those 20 plays apply to the ACCOUNT and not a SINGLE PLAYLIST. You will need multiple playlists (likely 2 playlists that take about 5 hours total) to complete the 20 streams while still following all streaming guidelines.

Filtering rules for an individual platform do not override the overall guidelines for proper streaming.
