2. Switch playlists from time to time if you can, and play songs from other artists, as well.

ITUNES
iTunes is a media player, media library, Internet radio broadcaster, mobile device management utility, and the client app for iTunes Store, developed by Apple Inc.
how does it work?
It is required to have an Apple ID to purchase on iTunes
---
For non IOS User, you can buy the song in your PC
DO NOT gift songs on iTunes
*If you have purchased it on iTunes but will also stream on Apple Music, delete the song download from your library until a (+) sign shows up next to it to make sure your Apple Music streams will count.
iTunes Buying Tips
1. Buy EACH songs from the album SEPARATELY
2. DON'T click the ‘buy complete album’
3. Buy EACH OF THEM SEPARATELY if the album has at least 10 songs or more
4. If you buy the ‘complete album’, then it’ll only chart in Hot 200. But the songs won’t chart in Hot 100. Or if you just buy the tracks or just the main/title-track, then they’ll chart in Hot 100, but on the other way we’ll be losing our chances in Hot 200.
Billboard Hot 100 is for singles/songs
Billboard 200 is for album
So we can buying EACH tracks from the album, but SEPARATELY instead of buying ‘the complete album’ if we will enter in both charts
10 songs sold separately = 1 album sold
5. If you buy 10 songs from the album SEPARATELY , it’ll will automatically complete your 1500 streams total.
10 songs sold separately = 1500 streams done automatically
So you don’t have to stream the song whole day if you don’t have time for streaming.
6. Don't use a VPN apps to buy the tracks.
7. If you want to help with more buying other than iTunes or don’t have iTunes, then you can buy the main/title-track on other platforms.
8. If you don’t have Macbook, then you can download iTunes on your Windows laptop/desktop too to help with buying the songs.
1. Focus on your own country’s music charts and stream on various other music platforms ( Apple Music, Spotify, Youtube Music, Google Play Music, Deezer, etc )
2. Get premium trial packs if you can.
3. If you want to help with the Billboard Hot 100 charts then you can donate some money to @Twicefunding
APPLE MUSIC
pple Music is a music and video streaming service developed by Apple Inc. Users select music to stream to their device on-demand, or they can listen to existing, curated playlists.
1. Streaming downloaded song NEVER counts as streaming. If you have been streaming that way then you are doing it WRONG! It is as same as downloading a song from a website and listening to it offline in your phone music library. First of all you need to TURN OFF the automatic downloads.
2. Purchasing the song is IMPORTANT to make it chart higher in iTunes Singles Chart. After purchasing the song from iTunes, you have to remove it from your Apple Music library before streaming it.
3.You can add the song to a playlist together with other songs ( 2-3 songs ).
