Hi BHW,
I started this streaming journey since February 2023, mainly streaming Apple Music on servers using Bluestacks. Apple streaming was fine until September 2025.
At the end of August 2025, Apple Music accounts started showing a drop in streams (using the distributor's Apple Music stats, and also monitoring Apple Music for Artists stats for a few artists) gradually until the streams began registering 0 streams. At first, this was not alarming because the problem was assumed to be the result of a loss of streaming data. But then, the royalties reflected the actual drop in streams.
For the past 3 months, I've been working to resolve this issue, but with no success. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Below is a picture of the streaming activity for one of my distributor accounts.
You would see that the streams up until August were going great. Then in September, the streams dropped by more than 70%. The reason the streams continued was a result of new Apple Music accounts were being swapped for the dead ("shadowbanned") Apple Music accounts.
The conclusion was that NEWLY created listener accounts would stream fine for 7 days. Then drop to 0 on the 8th or 9th day of streaming. Then a new account must be created to get the streams registering again.
Any solutions?
