A short explanation why your releases are found under Release - Topic on YouTube, and possible solutions

It is possible that the music you distributed to YouTube Music via MusicHub ended up under the "Release - Topic" channel on YouTube. Don't worry, this happens quite often and can usually be fixed quickly.

This is generally related to the number of streams your music receives, or the number of releases (note, not tracks, but releases) that you have distributed to YouTube.

Unfortunately, there is no specific quantitative amount above which the platform sets up a separate "Artist - Topic" channel. We have no control over this, but we have found that this typically happens after 3 - 4 releases. Also, it usually takes a month for these changes to take effect. After we request that the channel be merged with your personal channel (as long as it meets all of these requirements), it may still take a few days for this to take effect.

We understand that this can be frustrating, but it's something YouTube has set up, and we can't control how it works.
