Important: Please be careful about how you promote your music and who you enlist to help you! Engaging in fraudulent activity, including artificially increasing your stream counts in stores (commonly known as “streaming abuse”), is a violation of the TuneCore Terms of Service and may result in the permanent removal of your material from stores, the forfeiture by you of associated revenues, and/or termination of your account.
Please note that any service or third party that offers streams, playlist placement, or followers in return for money is typically fraudulent and should be avoided to prevent your content from being involved in abnormal store-end activity.
