   • Tap the three dots on the screen, and then tap “Download.”
2. Amazon Music HD subscribers must re-download offline music to stream in HD or Ultra HD.

Tips:

• Similar to Apple Music, songs purchased from the digital music section of Amazon must be deleted on Amazon Music for the stream to count.
• Avoid bot-like behavior.
• Do not loop a song or use only one playlist.
• Interact with the app by skipping songs, changing playlists, and so on.
• When creating track focused playlists, add 2 – 3 other songs in between two consecutive focus tracks to avoid filtering of streams.
• Do not shuffle the playlist as that will change its predetermined order; thus, failing to promote the main track.
• To add the same song to the same playlist more than once, simply tap “Yes” when prompted.

Why streaming on Amazon Music is important:

Streaming on Amazon Music is important for music charts, including Billboard, and helps boost BTS’ sales. Furthermore, popular tracks receive more exposure to the general public.
