Distribution with SoundCloud for Artists

Advantages of Distributing with SoundCloud

SoundCloud for Artists allows you to map all of your Main Artists, Featured Artists, and Remixers to their profiles on Spotify and Apple Music, as well as exclusive member benefits to save you money.

In addition to getting your music on other platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, TikTok, and others, SoundCloud doesn’t ask for additional payment for features like:

  • YouTube Content ID
  • Split pay to pay your collaborators
  • Unlimited number of Artists on your releases
  • Sending releases to over 60+ stores
  • Advanced fan insights

Delivery Timing

It usually takes a few days for your release to be reviewed and delivered to stores. Here are estimated delivery times for popular platforms:

  • Apple Music: 2-3 days (some releases may take 1-2 extra weeks if reviewed further)
  • Spotify: 2-3 business days
  • YouTube Music: 2-3 days
  • Amazon: 1-3 business days
  • Deezer, iHeartRadio: 3-7 business days
  • TikTok: 5-7 business days
  • Most other stores: 1-3 weeks

To ensure your music goes live on a specific date, schedule your release at least 4 weeks in advance, as timelines vary by store. Early scheduling also lets you submit for editorial playlists and increases your chances of being featured in algorithm-based playlists like Spotify’s Discover Weekly and Release Radar.
