DO use as many platforms as possible to stream the song (music streaming app, YouTube, Tiktok)
DO tag @NSYNC, each of the member’s individual accounts, RCA, and Sony in social media posts. See our “Who to Tag” Guide. 
DO interact with apps to avoid “Bot” behavior. Like, Comment (but don’t spam), manually search for songs, look for other artists in between streams, visit artist pages, skip songs, change playlists, etc.
DON’T clear your browser history or cookies 
DON’T listen to Better Place on repeat, mute, skip, pause, or fast forward the song

Playlist Tips

DO curate your playlists! Try to make a few different ones such a long playlist (2-4 hours) and a few shorter ones that you can alternate between. Check out our thread of playlists! 

DO include at least 12 different songs and at least 3 or 4 different artists 

DO Add Better Place multiple times, but not in a row! Spread it throughout your playlist

DO Be creative and have fun! Curate based on different moods or vibes, you can even include more from the Trolls soundtracks, or just different artists you would want to pair with this song!
