BUGS! GUIDE

Hello, Orbits! Welcome to our Bugs! guide. We hope that this will end up being useful to you so we can all have fun listening to LOONA while helping them on the K-Charts!

What is Bugs! and why it’s important?

Bugs! is a South Korean subscription streaming service similar to Spotify, Apple Music, etc. It’s not as big as Melon, but it’s also important.

Bugs is one of the major streaming services that Gaon compiles data from in order to rank songs on the Gaon music charts. Gaon also use the data to provide certifications for both song downloads and song streaming.

So, when you see songs ranking on Gaon singles and streaming charts, they took data from Bugs! (among other streaming services like Melon) to calculate those rankings. Same goes for Gaon certifications for meeting thresholds in both streaming and downloads.

Data from Bugs! is also used to calculate the digital score for all music shows awards (i.e. The Show, Inkigayo, M! Countdown, Show Champion, Music Bank).

How to help LOONA on YouTube

Hello, Orbits! Welcome to our YouTube guide. We hope that this will end up being useful to you so we can all have fun listening to LOONA while helping them to top the charts!

What you must do:

Stream the ENTIRE video without pausing or skiping

Search for the video manually. Don’t use a playlist

Watch other LOONA mvs in between before you switch back to stream the newly released mv again to avoid spam/bot streaming. Don’t use a playlist

Turn off Autoplay

There’s no problem skipping ads.

Use multiple DEVICES if you can. Don’t watch in multiple WINDOWS! Ex: Another/your PC, Phone, Tablet.

Watch the video above 480p quality!

What you MUST NOT do:

DO NOT to use skip, replay button or pause the mv in the middle, watch the FULL video as you normally do.

Even if number of views freezes, do NOT panic and continue to stream following the steps above.

DO NOT use a VPN

DO NOT stream using incognito mode or without an account

DO NOT mute or play the video with a volume less than 50%

DO NOT post in the comments hashtags, stream-related or views-related stuff! You can leave supportive comments instead!

While we don't know the exact algorithm and what is needed to count as a view, there are some theories such as:

a view is counted after the user has watched around 30 seconds of the video

a view is counted if the user watches most of the video

a view is counted only if the user has the volume at at least 50% (on the site/app)

you can stream on multiple devices as long as they're not logged in on the same account

As we are not sure, we reccomend watching the entire video so we won’t risk it!

What we know for sure is that if the views are organic they are counted. Please make sure they come from the official channel and avoid watching reuploads, at least during the first 24 hours. The views from YouTube also count towards the Billboard charts.

Also, if you plan on streaming b-sides, make sure they’re from Official LOONA topics: OEC, YYXY, or Official YouTube Channel and not a lyrics video or a reupload!

All LOONA’s official MVs are uploaded on their Official YouTube Channel at 6PM KST!

How to help LOONA on Apple Music!

HOW TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT

You'll need an Apple ID account to use ‌Apple Music‌. If you don't have one then you'll be asked to create one when you join, or create one Here. New accounts on Apple Music can have 1 or 3 months trial.

FOR PC

Install iTunes on your pc here.

Go to Apple Music’s site and click ‘’Try it free’’ and it will automatically open iTunes.

Now you have the option to use the 3 month free trial of Apple Music’s services. If you can’t find it, go to the Browse, Radio or For You tabs.

You will be charged the monthly fee when the trial ends if you choose not to cancel it

FOR IOS

IOS users already have the Apple Music app installed on their devices. However, if you’re not a user of the services of Apple Music, you can start a 3 months trial checking the Browse, Radio or For You tabs. You will be charged the monthly fee when the trial ends if you choose not to cancel it

FOR ANDROID

You can get the ‌Apple Music‌ app for Android from the Google Play store or download it directly from Apple.

Make sure that your device has Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) or later – you can check which version it has by going to Settings -> System -> About phone.

Launch the ‌Apple Music‌ app on your Android device.

You should see a message that says "Welcome to ‌Apple Music‌." If it doesn't appear, tap For You, Radio or Browse.

Now, you’ll be able to start your 3 month free trial! You will be charged the monthly fee when the trial ends if you choose not to cancel it

HOW TO STREAM

Although the purchase counts, playing from a song you bought from iTunes does not count as streams. You have to play a song from a trial or paid Apple Music subscription so it can counts as a stream.

In case you have already a subscription:

Open the app and go to the album

Press and hold on the album (If the option download appears don’t delete the album, it’s not downloaded so the stream will count, you’ll only lose it)

Tap remove and then 'delete from library'

Search the song and make sure you have a RED sign in the bottom left corner of the screen

Don’t worry! The songs are not gone, they won’t charge you again for the album and you can download it back in the Itunes Store. Go to More>Purchased>Music and you’ll see your tracks ready to download again.

After this/If you just made your subscription:

Create a playlist with a few other songs mixed in. (You can use our Spotify playlist as an example)

Don’t mute!

Once in a while pause and play the playlist

Offline streams do not count.

Don’t forget to follow LOONA, 1/3, ODD EYE CIRCLE and YYXY’s profiles!

Spotify and Apple music streaming are extremely important for US billboard charts and Global charts. Every stream counts. Why streaming on them is important?

How to help LOONA on Spotify!

Hello, Orbits! Welcome to our Spotify guide. We hope that this will end up being useful to you so we can all have fun listening to LOONA while helping them to top the charts!

Spotify has both paid and free versions. Premium streams weight more than Free streams, however, both types are important and have weight when it comes to SpotifyCharts and their curated playlists.

How to create an account

Download the app for your device (compatible with iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, MacOS and more) or use their webplayer.

Click on “Sign Up Free”

Chose the method of sign up (either email or facebook)

If you choose the email option, fill your information such as email, password, birth date, gender and name. Accept the terms and conditions.

Follow LOONA, LOONA ⅓, ODD EYE CIRCLE, and YYXY’s profiles

You are ready to start playing LOONA songs, including their ‘This is LOONA’ playlist, created by Spotify.

How to upgrade to premium

If you haven’t upgraded your spotify before, you can use the free trial

Go to your Account Overview

Click on Subscription > TRY PREMIUM FREE

The monthly subscription will be selected by default, you can choose to “change plan” if you want any of the following: Family Plan, Yearly Plan or Premium for Students (those options don’t give you the free trial). We recommend getting a free trial first and changing your plan when the trial ends if needed.

You will be charged the monthly fee when the trial ends if you choose not to cancel it

How to create your own playlist

Another very important thing is to create your own playlists. It helps Spotify’s algorithm to identify actual demand for the song as it has been listened from different users and different types of playlists, which prompts them to add it to more of their own playlists. It is also another way to ensure your streams won’t be counted as spam and get deleted after.

Turn off Autoplay: Home > Settings > Playback > Turn Off Autoplay

Go to ‘Your Library’ > Create Playlist

Name the playlist as you like and start adding songs, focusing on the main track.

Attention!

Remember always stream the title track with PLAYLIST. Create a playlist with max 16-17 songs along with the title track. The playlist has to be atleast 1-2 hours long, the longer the playlist the better.

DO NOT repeat/skip/pause the song in the middle or anything, stream the full song normally.

Repeating the same song from the start again and again counts as SPAM/bot streaming and Spotify deletes those streams while filtering out the datas. So make sure you stream the title track with PLAYLIST!!

If you are busy with other works such as office/house or studies and don't have time to change the song, then you can use the loop button or shuffle button for the playlist. These buttons will automatically play the songs from the playlist without having you to do anything.

If you are busy with your work or studies then lower down the volume on your device (device, NOT the Spotify player). Or plug earphone with your device while working or studying.

Make sure you create a 'diverse' playlist that focuses on the title track mainly. Often listeners get distracted and it affect the streaming numbers of the main title track when the title track is the only thing we should be focusing on. Here’s an example

We made some playlists for Orbits to use or use as a base!

Chill Playlist

Upbeat Playlist

Solo Playlist

PS- The ++ represents the title track! We will update the playlist depending on the current title track and releases.

Spotify and Apple music streaming are extremely important for US billboard charts and Global charts. Make sure you get any premium subscription to stream on Spotify. If you can't afford to get premium then it's fine! Stream from free Spotify because every stream counts. Why streaming on them is important?
