Log in into your Spotify account. (Premium if possible.)

Premium accounts weigh more on the charts than free accounts. Sign up for the 1 month free trial if you are able.

Only 1 account per device. If you want to stream on multiple devices, you need multiple accounts.

Do not loop songs, album, or playlist. Your streams will be filtered out.

Take your playlist off auto-play.

Do not use VPN/APK and Incognito.

Do not mute the playlist, use earphones instead.

Play the whole song.

Don’t use repeat.

Don’t skip/fast-forward the song.

Keep your playlist between 1 1⁄2- 3 hours long.

Include a few non-DARREN songs on your playlist.

Have multiple playlists to rotate through. Don’t play the same one over and over again.

Switch playlist often.

Update your playlist once a month. This just mean switching out a song occasionally or moving them around in the playlist.

Behave like a human. Adjust the volume and skip 2-3 songs per hour. Pause a song. Humans typically don’t listen 3 hours of music nonstop without making adjustments, but bots do.

You can download your playlist to play offline, but remember to log in daily so that your streaming data is counted. 

Share your playlist with others through social media. The more playlist people have access to, the better.

Pro tip for free accounts. The desktop version has less ads.

Stream continuously even after weeks/months of release (aim for consistency and longevity.)

Please remember to also have fun with this! Listening to music is always supposed to be enjoyable.
