When Will the Release Go Live?

Selecting a Release Date

You have full control over choosing a release date that aligns with your promotional strategy.

To ensure smooth distribution, we require a minimum lead time of seven working days for quality control and timely delivery across all selected DSPs.

Once your release date arrives, the status will update to Released, and a smartlink will direct listeners to major streaming platforms where your music is available.

Recommended Lead Time

While we distribute songs within seven working days, we strongly recommend:

• At least three weeks before release – This allows artists to pitch their songs to stores properly and gives curators enough time to review and approve them for editorial playlists.
• A minimum of two weeks before release – This helps avoid any technical issues, ensuring your music goes live smoothly on all platforms.

⚠️ Important Notice
You need enough time before the release date allows them to pitch their music through platforms like Spotify for Artists and ensures correct profile mapping, especially for debut artists.
