TheFame Monster 8,718 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I have streamed Perfect Illusion over 470 times in the past 24 hours and you can too (staring now)!!!! Grab an old smartphone. Download Spotify Use your current account (if you aren't going to use Spotify to listen to other music) or make another one (if you use Spotify). Add Perfect Illusion to its own playlist with three other songs and put it on repeat. Plug in headphones and make the volume low (do not mute it)   86400 seconds in a day/183 seconds for Perfect Illusion. That's 469 times playing Perfect Illusion a day and I've also streamed it on YouTube. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop 4,541 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Sorry to break it to you, but it wont count. You have to put 3 songs in between and Spotify doesn't count plays if it's on mute. The Taylor Brigade: KNOCKOUT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't count the same song if it's played back-to-back. I think you have to play at least 3 songs in between playing a certain song for it to count. Also, it depends where you muted it. If you mute it in the app, it won't count. The Taylor Brigade: KNOCKOUT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

notamember 664 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Would every third play count if all you're playing is Perfect Illusion on repeat? Obviously they don't all count but do every other or every third count? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible they counted. Either way I found a few 20 second songs to play.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
