YouTube officially announced the “badges” features in October, but YouTube Music users are now seeing existing ones doubled instead of getting their December Top Listener badge.
YouTube Music lets you earn badges for being a “Top Listener” of an artist/band in any given month, with what percentile you happen to be in noted.
To access, open YouTube Music on Android or iOS and tap your profile avatar in the top-right corner for “Badges.” YTM offers a nice portrait graphic if you tap a card > Share > Save image.
So far, new Top Listener badges for the previous month have been appearing on the second or third day of the new month. Instead of getting new ones for December over the past 24 hours, people have been seeing their November badge repeated, down to the same background color and date.
This is clearly a bug that YouTube will hopefully address by issuing the actual Top Listener badges for December. So far, this feature has been received quite well by users.
Outside of music, you can also receive them for “being one of the first set of paid members of a creator’s channel, or correctly completing quizzes,” as well as “having a creator heart your comment.” You can also access Badges in the main YouTube app.
