DON'T

Playlists: YouTube doesn't always count playlist views immediately. Us e the queue feature instead.
Stream nonstop: Take breaks so your IP address can rest.
Mute: Don't mute YouTube(device volume is okay).
Stream from multiple tabs in the same browser: It can be seen as manipulation

A stream is counted when a song plays for at least 30 seconds.
Filtered - Passes quality checks; counts toward official charts.
Unfiltered - Flagged as low-quality; counts ONLY for public play count.
Never play the same song back-to-back. Use "Filler" songs to create natural distance.
Rotate through 5-7 different playlists. Each playlist should have different filler songs and orders. You don’t need to finish the entire playlist for the streams to count.
For premium users, offline streams also count! Just remember to go back online at least once a week to keep everything in check.

Spotify

You can stream without logging in, but it’s best to log in so your streams count toward Billboard and help the MV trend.
Search for the MV in the search bar and play it.
If there’s a short ad, watch the full ad. If there’s a long ad, watch for about 30 seconds, then skip.
After watching the MV, like the video and leave a comment.
Watch 2–3 other videos for 7–10 minutes.
Return to the MV and repeat the process.

STAGE 2.

Digital Streaming

Focus: Stream the title track primarily, but weave in 2–3 b-sides to avoid being flagged as a bot.

Day 1 (Short Day): Tracking starts from release (6PM KST) until 9AM KST. Every stream is vital for a high chart debut.
Day 2 (Full Day): The first full 24-hour cycle (00:00–23:59 UTC). This is crucial for maintaining or climbing the global chart.
Playlists: Use fan-made "focus playlists". Do not loop a single song indefinitely as the algorithm will filter it.
Settings: Keep volume above 50% on the app (use physical headphones if you need silence). Disable "Autoplay" to ensure your manual choices count.
Engagement: Share links using in-app buttons rather than copying URLs.

MV Streaming

Search Manually: Type the artist + song name in the search bar.
No Links: Avoid clicking direct links from Twitter/X for every view; it can lead to view freezing.
Engagement: Watch the full MV, like, and leave a meaningful comment.

STAGE 1.

Pre-save & Pre-order

Pre-save: Essential for the algorithm. It signals "high intent" to the platform, pushing the song onto playlists such as Release Radar and Discover Weekly.
Pre-order: Buy from stores that report to Circle Chart (Global), Hanteo (real-time/first week), and count toward physical sales.

Account Setup

Global: Priority on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. Use premium accounts if possible as they have a higher "weight" in chart calculations.
Korea: Melon (highest weight), Genie, Bugs, Flo, and Vibe.
Voting Apps: Create accounts on BIGC, Idolchamp, Mnet Plus, Mubeat, Muniverse, LiNC, and Higher.

Point Collection

Music Shows: Log in daily, watch ads and complete missions.

The first week is the most important for physical scores in music shows.

Prepare for pre-voting by collecting currencies on the relevant apps.
Keep your votes and device ready for the live broadcast.
Create content using the official sound. High "usage" of an official sound counts toward the SNS score on some music shows.
