    NOTE:
    This streaming guide to use playlisting can also be used for other streaming platforms such as APPLE MUSIC/AMAZON/DEEZER/TIDAL

    MAKE SURE YOU:

    1. Follow Baekhyun’s Spotify page.
    2. Open the album/song and click on the heart to save to your library (boosts the song/album on Spotify’s algorithm).
    3. Volume is kept at minimum of 50%.

    HOW TO STREAM:
    1. Open the Spotify app or web player for desktop.
    2. Create multiple playlists with songs from Baekhyun and some non-kpop/other artists songs to avoid your streams to look like spam. Switch between playlists from time to time.
    3. Go to 'Your Library' and select the playlist.
    4. Press ‘Play’ to help promote the title track more and not shuffle play as it rearranges the order.

    Note: You may duplicate the title track by adding them to playlist again and click on ‘Add Anyway’.You can also adjust the order of the songs in the playlist by clicking the three dots and pressing ‘Edit’ . Hold onto the to three lines beside the track and drag the songs to your choice of order.
    Repeat the title track 'Bambi' after every 2-3 songs!


    TIPS:
    DO NOT loop the songs, playlists or albums for a long period of time (for overnight create a longer playlist) and switch playlists from time to time else your streams will be filtered out. Listen to ‘variety of songs’ in your playlist, it can be Baekhyun’s collabs or non kpop songs since streaming only one artist’s music may look like spam.Include 15-20 songs and include title track at least 4-5 times (after every 2-3 songs)Offline streaming (streaming downloaded songs) counts as valid streams for premium.DO NOT mute volume while streaming, insert headphones if needed (the device’s volume can be muted on web player). Check Tips on how to stream properly on mute or on multiple platforms on PC using sound mixer.
    Interact with Spotify by pausing or skipping a song to avoid bot-like behaviour.For premium subscribers, playing the song for 30 sec counts as one stream. Though to be safe, try to play the whole song. For free users, you have to play the whole song for your streams to be counted.IMP FOR SPOTIFY VIRAL Share the song link on all your social media accounts and via texts. Recommended: Include song name and 'Baekhyun' on your tweets too with links.
    Turn off ‘Autoplay’ to avoid playing suggested songs once a playlist is done. HOME > SETTINGS > PLAYBACKSplit the Spotify family premium subscription with 5 other fans as one account can accommodate up to 6 accounts or use the one month free trialIf you’re a student, you can get a discount for Spotify premium

    HOW TO STREAM:

    1. Open YouTube on a browser or use the YouTube App.
    2. Log into your account.
    3. Search for 'BAEKHYUN Bambi' in the search bar.
    4. Click the video.
    5. Play the full video in 480P or higher quality and volume minimum at 50%.
    6. LIKE and SHARE the video after watching.
    7. Watch 3 – 4 other videos (Baekhyun's other title tracks) in-between.
    8. Repeat the steps.

    TIPS:
    DO NOT press replay. Make sure to watch different videos in between. DO NOT refresh the page when the video ends. DO NOT use multiple tabs or incognito mode.DO NOT use playlists for the first 24 hours of the music release.DO NOT pause or speed up the video.AVOID streaming on multiple browsers even with different accounts. Too many views from the same IP address are suspicious and will be deleted. (DO NOT OVERDO IT)On mobile data, switch airplane mode on and off to change your IP address. When streaming on the same device with multiple accounts, you can do this. Although do not overdo it. Changing IP address on a wi-fi is rather tricky.For streaming on multiple devices, try to connect them to different networks to avoid the streams coming from the same IP address. You can switch between mobile data and Wi-fi of home or workplace. Maximum of 2 devices per IP address.DO NOT delete your watch history because it allows YouTube to search and count views. DO NOT mute the video sound. If you want to stream in the background with no sound, open a different browser to stream, go on sound mixer and mute the volume of the browser or use headphones. Check Tips on how to stream properly on mute or on multiple platforms on PC using sound mixer.
    Try to interact with YouTube by leaving a comment or liking other comments when you stream 'Bambi'.If the view counter freezes, KEEP STREAMING. Don’t worry, your view will still count. These rules also work for YouTube Music – a paid service where you can download videos to watch offline (views are added once you log in again) and can be played in the background. YouTube views are part of the criteria for Billboard and music show wins:
    Music Core: 15%
    Inkigayo: 30%
    MCountdown: 15%
    Show Champion: 10%**

    For BillBoard Global 200 Excluding U.S. Chart (song chart) : (All countries except USA)
    1 Track sale = 250 Premium streams = 1125 Ad-supported streams

    For BillBoard Global 200 Chart (song chart) : (All countries)
    1 Track sale = 200 Premium streams = 900 Ad-supported streams

    IMPORTANT Fans from US/PR/UK/CA do make sure to also check the following guides to ensure your purchases and streams account to charts

    US/Puerto Rico Fans/Canada

    (Priority)
    BB200: Chart for Albums/EPs. One album sale counts as 1 unit (Physical and Digital).

    Digital : Purchase the title track first followed by completing the album purchase.

    You can purchase the album 3 more times with the same credit card via other accounts (not from the same account) on a particular platform (e.g. iTunes). To purchase more times change your payment method.

    Every 10 tracks sold also equates to 1 album sale. Thus, if you have the funds only after buying the title track followed by completing the album purchase, buy 9x separate songs from the album (preferably the TITLE TRACK) via other accounts or another platform (e.g. Tidal, Amazon) to meet the 10 tracks sale requirement.

    STREAMING RATIO : 1 album unit = 1250 premium streams = 3750 ad-supported streams
    (RE: Platforms - Apple Music / Spotify / Tidal / YouTube / YouTube Music / Amazon Music / Pandora / Napster / Deezer )

    BBH100: Chart for songs/singles. Sales of individual songs are counted. TITLE TRACK purchases from the completed album does not count. Thus, it is preferred to buy the song separately too, before completing the album. If you have the funds, proceed to purchase the TITLE TRACK more times via other accounts or another platform (e.g. Tidal, Amazon)

    Please DO NOT buy more than 4 copies of a song/album with same credit card in one tracking week (Friday - Thursday), it will count as only one unit sale then. If you want to buy more, please use a different payment method for the remaining transactions (Gift cards/debit card/PayPal.. etc)Only buying tracks separately on all platforms is a risk to album charts including BB200; buying separately on several platforms + 1 full album on one platform will help

    UK Fans

    Buy the title track then 'complete' the albumDO NOT buy the album before buying the lead single DO NOT buy the tracks individually
    UK Official Charts: Only first 10 streams within 24 hours of each song are included in charting figures on each account.
    Example: 10 on Spotify, 10 on Deezer, 10 on Apple Music, 10 on Youtube Music, 10 on Amazon music, 10 on Tidal (Tidal has both audio and video options so both the MV and the song can be streamed 20 times to count for the charts). Therefore, you will need to switch accounts or streaming platform if you wish for your streams to count, after streaming a song 10 times.
    10 streams per account per day relates to UK charts. After this, streams WILL still count for global charts
    UK Streaming ratios
    1 Track sale = 100 Premium Streams = 600 Ad-supported streams

    Shazam is a FREE music discovery app and not used for streaming. Worldwide radio stations look at Shazam counts of the song to determine whether the song is popular or can be a hit song in both Regional and Global scale. As it helps radio stations to decide songs for their playlisting and rotations, more Shazam counts lead to more radio plays. Radio plays help to let not only more people discover Baekhyun's music but also contribute on charts.

    You do not have to login to use Shazam.

    How to Shazam:
    Play the music and Open ShazamMake sure the microphone permission is enabled for Shazam app in device SettingsTap the Shazam button in the middle of the screen, the app will identify the music being played in few seconds.

    Note If you do not clear data then Shazams on the same song will only be counted once per 24 hours!

    iOS

    iOS users can Shazam the same song using Shazam app once every 24 hours. So please make sure to Shazam atleast once a day for a song. To Shazam more times use multiple devices and you can Shazam once a day on Snapchat as well.
