I recently made a YouTube Official Artist Channel request submission for my YouTube channel ‘gabiloof’.
Unfortunately, you couldn’t forward my request to YouTube due to the following requirement :
-It appears that there are no matching tracks between the artists owned and operated channels and topic channels.
As I’m a bit lost at the moment, I’m contacting you to find out what I actually need to do.
I’ve just added a track to my YouTube channel that corresponds to the track distributed by iMusician on the topic channel.
Would that be enough?
You must have a personal YouTube channel representing the artist or band with at least one public video uploaded prior to applying for the OAC;
You must have at least 1 official release on an Artist-Topic channel distributed by an approved service or label;
You must have at least 1 video on the Personal channel that matches a release on the Topic channel (for e.g. a lyrics version or an official music video);
