General Questions
⭐ · What is Stationhead?Stationhead is a social radio platform with chat features. You can listen to music with other STAY and request songs with station DJs. ♥︎
⭐ · Do Stationhead streams count for charts (e.g. Billboard)?Yes, these streams count for charts, including Billboard!From the website, "As all music streams come directly from your Apple Music and Spotify accounts, every play counts as a stream."
⭐ · Why should we stream on Stationhead?When the DJ plays a Stray Kids song, it syncs with your linked Apple Music or Spotify Premium account and counts it as a stream. The more listeners you have, the better! For example, 100 STAY on one Stationhead station listening to Stray Kids would generate 100 streams that would count for Apple Music, Spotify, and Billboard charts.Additionally, there is less chance of your streams being filtered out. When you stream on your own, some of your streams may not be counted if your streaming behavior is flagged as 'inorganic' (e.g. looping songs, listening to too many SKZ songs back to back, etc.). This is less likely to happen on Stationhead, since the DJ takes care of the playlist.As a fan, you get to listen to Stray Kids' music and connect with other STAY. If you're a new STAY, this is a great way to discover Stray Kids' music. You don't have to go through the hassle of creating and managing your own playlists. The DJ will handle the playlists, and you can even send in your own song requests as well!By getting lots of STAY to stream together on Stationhead, we can guarantee more effective streaming for Stray Kids! This will help us keep SKZ on charts longer.
Using Stationhead

⭐ · Can I mute the tab on my web browser?No. Do not mute the tab for any streaming services on web as this could be detected. You can, however, mute your computer.
⭐ · Why did the song, chat, and listener count suddently change?When you are connected to STATIONHEAD's STAY channel, when one station goes off air, the channel automatically switches you to an 'on air' station in order to help keep you streaming.

Updates
Nov 10 - 25 2022
SKZCORD will be reducing our station's ON AIR streaming time and instead playing music OFF AIR more in November as we shift focus towards award show voting.
To join a station streaming music OFF AIR go directly to their account profile and click "JOIN STATION".
OFF AIR means the station will not be listed in your feed, there will be no active Admin, or song requests, but the chat will still be available and the playlists used will be ones created for current streaming goals.
Streaming remains a top priority as it holds a lot of weight for MAMA, BBMA, AMA and several other award shows. Here's are a few ways to keep streaming when SKZCORD is OFF AIR.
1. Keep your account on SKZCORD if an OFF AIR playlist is playing.
2. Stream SKZCORD's past shows. You will find recordings in the profile page. Please pick a 4+ hour long recording to stream.
3. Use a playlist from SKZCORD on Spotify (Click here)

Joining Channels on iOS devices
WARNING: When there are no other ON AIR stations for the STAYs Channel available, Stationhead moves your account to a random Recorded Show from a STAY station.Please be aware that as SKZCORD remains streaming OFF AIR more in November, your account could be moved to one of these random Recorded Shows if you are connected to the STAYs Channel, and it is not guaranteed the recording will be one made for current streaming goals.While this Channel feature will help you keep streaming if SKZCORD ever stops playing music, or if there is another Station ON AIR, your account may jump around a lot as SKZCORD remains streaming music OFF AIR in November.To stop this feature, click on SKZCORD's account profile, and simply join the station itself, and not the STAYs Channel.
💘 · Why should we stream on Stationhead?When the DJ plays a Stray Kids song, it syncs with your linked Apple Music or Spotify Premium account and counts it as a stream. The more listeners you have, the better! For example, 100 STAY on one Stationhead station listening to Stray Kids would generate 100 streams that would count for Apple Music, Spotify, and Billboard charts.In the US, your streams are counted towards digital song and album sales on the Billboard chart. For example, if there were 125 STAYs listening to a Stray Kids radio station on Stationhead and there were 10 songs played in a 30 min show, the streams generated during that session (1250) would count as 1 digital song sale. If we did this for 10 days, it would count as 1 digital album sale.Additionally, there is less chance of your streams being filtered out. When you listen to music on your own account, a percentage of your streams will not be counted if your streaming behavior is flagged as 'inorganic' (e.g. looping songs, listening to too many SKZ songs back to back, etc.).
