Xikers Worldwide Apple Music
About
Apple Music is an international music streaming service. It is counted towards Circle Global Chart for music shows, as well as towards Billboard charts.
Setting up
Apple Music can only be used with paid accounts. You can sign up for a free trial if you don't have a subscription yet. Check to see if there are any free trial offers available!
Log in to your Apple Music account
Ensure that you are logged in and that you are not using incognito mode or a private browser.
Remove downloaded music
If you have purchased the title track / album from iTunes, or have it downloaded for offline play, remove it from your downloads first. (Go to Library, find the songs/albums, right click and select 'Remove Download'.)
Unmute your Apple Music player
On a computer, you may mute the tab or the computer volume, but not the Apple Music player itself. On mobile devices, don't mute your device, use headphones if you need to.
Don't use ad blockers or VPNs
Streaming best practices
Playlists should be about 1.5 hours long. Avoid using songs from competing artists in the same music shows / charts during their promotion period.
Manually search for the song
Use the search function on the website or mobile app when adding to your playlist.
Use a variety of fillers
Add 2-5 different songs in between each title track stream, and scatter the album B-sides throughout the playlist. Fillers can be other xikers songs, or songs from other artists. Include a variety of artists, genres and languages.
Stream your playlist
Press play on your playlist, and let it run through. Don't loop songs in the playlist or the playlist itself, and disable autoplay.
Occasionally pause or skip the filler songs, but not too often. Only do this after the first 30 seconds of the song has played. Occasionally use the share function on the title track to increase engagement.
Repeat
Switch to a different playlist after each full playthrough. Don't clear your listening history.
