theahsfan 13,595 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 If you're not from the US, download a VPN Here's one that's free: https://free-vpn.en.softonic.com/ Set the VPN to US, if you can, I haven't tested that VPN above so idk if you can choose where it sets to. If it doesn't set to the US then find a VPN that does, like Hola? And then download the Spotify APP for desktop Turn the VPN on Make a new account if you're not from the US with the VPN ON so the account you made is registered as being from the US Press play on Shallow Leave it on loop (the 'enable repeat' two arrows symbol on the right) Leave it on so you can hear it, because streams DO NOT count if the song is muted, so the best thing to do if you don't want to hear it as it repeats is PLUG HEADPHONES IN and leave it loop overnight, when you're out or just in the background while you're at home but just make sure it isn't muted You can set your laptop settings so when you close the lid the laptop doesn't shut down or sleep, it stays on. And leave it on charge if you leave it on overnight obviously Also streams count more if you have a paid subscription to Spotify It's also very unclear now if the "30 seconds = 1 stream" rule still applies. Apparently Spotify have said that if you want a stream to count, stream the entire song. So to be on the safe side, always let it play on full and don't use an auto-clicker or something. EDIT: According to @Interstellar: "I thought there was a max amount of streams that counted for the charts from one VPN? Isn’t it like 15 streams or something like that?" If you're not from the US and don't want to risk wasting streams, just use Spotify normally without the VPN so the streams count towards your home country's charts" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

homomo 22,718 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hmmmm. I can’t find it anywhere. Maybe I’m mistaken. If anyone else has heard of the max streams per day rule, please let me know. 0110100001100101011011000110110001101111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rio 5,088 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I’ve spoke to Spotify many times. the VPN thing changes your VPN yes but it doesn’t change your country on Spotify itself. If you look on your spotify account settings, it will still be set to your country. And you can’t exactly change it either. I repeat: the VPN does not change what country you’re listening from. You gotta somehow change your country on your Spotify account settings. there is a way round it if you have a free account. but you’re all worrying about VPNs and I’m telling you now, it’s pointless if you haven’t change your country in account settings.

My streams will help Canada charts with 37 Million people a lot more than the US with like 340 Million I know it's the biggest market but she's big here too (she was famous here before anywhere else) and it's here my streams will count I don't mind stuff like requesting on US Stations because it doesn't take away from my Country In fact I've done campaigns before where I asked non Canadians to request to major Toronto radio stations But what the OP is proposing is different. I'd literary transfer my countries gains away and that I won't do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
