How to link my personal Youtube channel to my Topic Youtube channel?

1

Hello,
I just released my single “Hate Me” under the artist name Exio, and I would like to link my personal YouTube channel ([https://www.youtube.com/@ExioMusicOriginal-fz5bp]) with my Topic YouTube Music channel ([https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg2RDzkgmiQnRV1JnfKhIfw]).
Please help me create my official artist channel.
Sincerely,
Mattéo Herminier (Exio)

Hello @Exio78,

Thanks for your message.

Your release appears on YouTube because YouTube Music creates auto-generated videos on which ads might appear so you can earn revenue (Spotify use a similar principle with their free users).

Basically, when we deliver your tracks to YouTube, they end up on two different places:

  1. YouTube Music;
  2. YouTube under an auto-generated "Various Artist - Topic” channel.

When your tracks start getting a significant presence on YouTube, a new “Artist - Topic” channel is automatically created. If an artist doesn’t have an Artist Topic channel, it may be because:

  • There are too few videos from the artist;
  • The artist’s videos do not generate enough views;
  • The artist’s videos do not meet YouTube’s quality standards.

Only YouTube can decide on the creation of an “Artist - Topic” channel. As a distributor, there is nothing we can do to influence that decision.

I see you have a personal channel but we can not assign releases to the personal channel, and you must wait until Youtube genetates a Topic Channel for you.

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions and have a nice day :slight_smile:

Best,
