3.2 How long does it take for my songs to appear in stores?

Find out how long it takes for your releases to go live on stores and why it’s important to submit them early.

Updated over a week ago

The time until your release becomes available varies depending on the store and usually takes between 1–2 days (or up to 2–3 weeks for smaller platforms).

Recommendations:

  • Submit your release at least 2 weeks before the planned date.

  • If you plan to pitch it or set up a pre-order / pre-save, submit it even earlier.

  • Spotify requires releases to be delivered at least 5 days before the release date to go live on time.

Delivery by iGroove:

  • Daily from Monday to Friday.

  • Releases submitted before 2 p.m. are delivered on the same day.
