If you have the same curiosity, or you need a guide to know YouTube Music badges better, congratulations! This post can help you figure out the questions you may encounter in streaming YouTube Music to obtain YouTube Music badges.
Part 1. What Is the YouTube Music Badge?
You may not be familiar with YouTube Music's features. While Tidal focuses on the audio quality, YouTube Music develops its social functions to make people have a sense of a group, allowing people to find a topic to start communicating quickly. The badges are the typical sample. YouTube Music users can publish the badges to meet their sharing desire, and attract the same badge holders to share their feelings too.
YouTube Music badges are rewards given to users for engaging with the platform, particularly for being top listeners of artists. For example, YouTube Music badges celebrate milestones like being the top listener for a particular artist or reaching other listening achievements. Despite the top listener badges, YouTube Music also provides other badges for users to earn. Like Enthusiast, Multi-platinum listener, Trailblazer, 10 million club.
Part 2. How to Get the Music Badge on YouTube
Like getting a reward title in the game, you also need to spend time to get the badges that YouTube Music offers you. We will show the restrictions of the badges on YouTube Music needs.
🏅 Top Listener. To get this badge, you need to listen to a lot of music by a specific artist or band. Of course, we don't recommend you repeat the artist or band's tracks again and again. You can enjoy other kinds of tracks for streaming, and the badge calculation system depends on your listening behavior relative to the specific artist. That means the Top listener badge's image of the artist or band will be displayed according to your listening frequency.
🏅 Enthusiast. Also, the obtaining of the Enthusiast badge relates to your listening activity. The more you listen to music and podcasts within the YouTube Music app, the more opportunities you have to earn badges.
🏅 Multi-platinum Listener. This badge is easy to get compared to other YouTube Music badges. After you have listened to about 100 hours on YouTube Music, you can get this badge in your collection.
🏅 Trailblazer. To get this badge, you don't need to spend so much time. On the contrary, you can join the YouTube Music Premium within the first 2 years of launching.
🏅 10 million club. This YouTube Music badge is not directly earned through listening habits like other badges. It's a badge associated with YouTube Premium, specifically for being among the first 10 million subscribers.
YouTube Music badges are a fun way to recognize user engagement. The badges are reworded for YouTube Music users who are active. However, some users report encountering bugs related to the Top Listener badge, such as seeing duplicates or experiencing delays in receiving new badges. And some users questioned the accuracy of the percentage calculations for Top Listener badges. We believe YouTube Music will promote it to the next level.
