Thank You!! Much appreciated <3 This is my first single so I’m a noob and not sure how I can even login to my profiles on the streaming platforms (other than Spotify bc they sent that and I was able to claim it).

Is there a link to explain what to do?

For example my track is on Youtube but they didn’t put it on my Channel there instead it’s on a generic release topic?

tbh it’s pretty confusing.

@Maurizio @Melani Hey guys any update on the incorrect Artist Name situation on Apple Music?

I reached out to Apple and they replied with:
…
Your selected content provider is best qualified to identify and provide this information.

At this time, Apple doesn’t facilitate name-change requests from artists. Apple encourages you to deliver new music under your new artist name through your content provider, but Apple won’t retroactively update previously delivered content. Thank you for your understanding.

For your reference, your case number is 102257527778.

Best regards,
Erin
Apple Inc.
…

Does this mean you have to resubmit the Single with the correct Artist Name and delete the current one?

Hey @Ravioli :slight_smile: I replied to you yesterday confirming that we sent a correction request to Apple Music and the request might take up to 3 weeks.

Thanks for your patience and kudos for your music!

All the best,

Hi @Ravioli,

Concerning your question on Youtube, 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.
