Frequently asked questions about Sumin on Spotify

Below are frequently asked questions about Spotify's Sumin.

If you keep playing only the same song, there is a high possibility that the playback will no longer be counted. Spotify may consider continuous mechanical loops to be bots and may not count them or disable them later. After listening to the song in question, we recommend inserting two or three other songs in between to create a natural flow.

Is it okay to use Sumin with the repeat function or shuffle turned on?

Not recommended. This is because if repeat, shuffle, or autoplay is turned on, it is likely to be seen as an unnatural pattern, making it difficult to reflect the count.

Summary

If you're a fan, it's very natural to want to ``contribute to Oshi'' and ``to make Oshi happy by getting his new song on the charts.''💕💕

However, if you continue to play unnaturally repeatedly on Spotify for the sake of promotion, it may not be reflected in the play count (sumin), so be careful.
