How long before my music is available on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, etc.?
Once you've uploaded your music to SpaceMedia, we begin the process of distributing it to various streaming platforms and music stores. The time it takes for your music to appear on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others can vary:
Review Process: After you submit your music, SpaceMedia conducts a quick review to ensure everything meets our quality and content guidelines. This typically takes only a few hours.
Distribution to Platforms: After approval, we send your music to the selected platforms. Depending on the platform, it might take: Spotify: 1-3 business days, Apple Music: 2-6 business days, Other Platforms: Timeframes can vary between 1-10 business days.
Release Date: If you've specified a future release date, platforms will hold your music until that date.
Delays: While rare, there might be occasional delays due to high submission volumes, public holidays, or platform-specific backlogs.
To ensure timely distribution, we recommend uploading your music well in advance of your desired release date. This gives you ample time for potential corrections, marketing preparations, and peace of mind knowing your music will be available to fans on the date you've chosen.
