WHY STREAM ON YOUTUBE?

Streaming official BTS music videos and audio uploads from Hybe Labels and BANGTANTV on YouTube will help positioning on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 (As of October 21, 2020) and Billboard Canadian Albums.

-

Streaming any video that plays the entire song and has been copyright claimed by BigHit will help on the Canadian Hot 100.

We recommend you stream official content when you want to listen/watch BTS songs/music videos. 

-

Streaming from a YouTube Premium or YouTube Music Premium account has more weight, on the charts, than streaming from a free account, but all streams are good streams and all will help BTS in Canada!

 

WHAT ARE THE OFFICIAL CHANNELS?

Hybe Labels - The majority of BTS's official music videos, teasers, and more are uploaded to this channel.

BANGTANTV - Contains a collection of BTS music videos from commercial releases (uploaded by BigHit Labels), non-commercial releases (uploaded directly by BANGTANTV), and audios of their official album tracks (uploaded by BTS on their official YouTube channel).

-

There are often fake channels that impersonate BigHit Labels and BANGTANTV. If you're unsure which channel is fake, check the subscriber count. Don't give views to unofficial uploads of their music videos or albums!

If you haven't done so already, make sure to subscribe to both channels and hit the bell (it tells YouTube that you want to see 100% of the content from these channels as soon as it's uploaded).

YOUTUBE MUSIC

You should subscribe to BTS, RM, Jin, Suga, Agust D, j-hope, Jimin, V, and JungKook on YouTube Music. This is where they upload the official albums and singles. You can access their YouTube Music online or through the YouTube Music app (available on both iOS and Android devices). Some of the playlists in YouTube Music are auto-generated - This means they might include unofficial fan-made content on playlists that look official! We suggest turning auto playoff and/or making your own playlists!
