FOCUSED STREAMING IS WHEN YOU ADD A TRACK/SONG MULTIPLE TIMES ON A PLAYLIST. THE PURPOSE IS TO GET THE MOST STREAMS FOR THAT SONG AND POSSIBLY ENTER CHARTS AND DIFFERENT CURATED PLAYLISTS ON SPOTIFY. WHILE DOING THIS, REMEMBER TO ADD FILLER SONGS IN BETWEEN OF THE FOCUS TRACK.

FILLERS 101 AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Q: What are fillers? Why do we need it?

⁍Any song that is not the focus song. A "filler" song or fillers are songs that are added to your playlist to avoid a bot-like behavior when streaming. It exudes dynamic and variety in the way you listen to or stream songs. Please see below recommendations regarding your fillers:

⁍Heavy focus: Include SB19, Pablo, Felip, and Josh (and other solo releases of the members in the future) as your filler songs

Filler songs with the following:

✓Same musical elements

✓Same genre

✓Same language

✓Same relevance or theme

✓Same artist/s with same genre or listener's taste

While focusing with the fillers above, please remember to still have variety especially with the following:

-Listening habit/s (manually search once in a while, add some songs to your library, keep a playlist of different songs, hop into other playlists).

-Time of the day (listen within different parts of the day, rest and stream as much as possible within different time of the day or week)

- Artists liked and followed (Follow other artist/s and like some of their songs).

-Check out and stream other algorithmic playlists once in a while (personalized mixes, song and artist radios, recommendations on your Spotify home, genre and decades PL among others).

Q: Do I have to follow everything in this playlist template?

A: No, you don't have to! It only serves as a guide on how you can ​place SB19 songs. In general, you can create a playlist with a focus ​song and 2-4 filler songs in between.

Q: Can I create a playlist without any focus song?

A: Yes, you may. It is actually recommended to add songs of SB19 to ​your personal playlists with other artists and genres. It is suggested to ​keep the playlist public so it'll add to the artists' playlist reach.

Q: Can I create one playlist and stream it over and over again?

A: Please do not repeat or play the same playlist over and over again.

IMPORTANT NOTES

⁍VARIETY is the key. Make it dynamic and without any pattern. Changing the ways in which you listen to a song will ensure human ​behaviour and inturn lessen filtering!

⁍Members' individual profile on Spotify acts as different artists on Spotify. So adding their releases will make the playlist more ​dynamic.

⁍Remixes / Instrumentals of a song are treated as different tracks so you can add them as filler songs.

⁍It is optional to name your playlist using the track or album name, but it would be helpful for other ATIN looking for other playlist ​when doing Spotify search. (ex: Mapa Senti playlist)

⁍Switch from one playlist to another when streaming to avoid robotic behavior. Don't play the same playlist over and over again.

⁍You may download 2-3 playlist if using a premium account then stream them offline. Your streams will be counted once online.

⁍ Stream editorial and algorithmic playlists, GITZ, Pagsibol, and Pagtatag in between of focused playlists. Rest after 2-3 playlists or ​switch account.

⁍Streaming songs by queueing them can ensure human behavior and increase your interaction. You may also add 2-3 playlists to ​your "queue".

⁍Use a premium account if possible. Please note that using a premium account does not prevent deletion of bot-like streams. ​Always stream like a human and interact with your playlist once in a while.

⁍Turn off Autoplay and Smart Shuffle when streaming.

⁍It is also recommended to keep a personal playlist or other playlists without a focus song. You may add SB19 songs in them and ​you may also keep a genre. This will help with SB19's playlist reach.

Example: Personal favorite bop songs, Ballad songs, morning songs etc.

⭐ TIP: If you are using a PC, you can stream simultaneously on other streaming platform such as Youtube, Deezer, Apple Music ​and others.
