Spotify is available on both Top Dog and World Domination packages.

Since 2008, Record Union has proudly partnered with Spotify and for several years held the status of a Spotify Preferred Partner, a testament to our trusted and recommended distribution services by Spotify themselves.

Spotify for Artists is a platform where artists can manage their Spotify artist profiles, promote their music, and analyze their music’s performance stats on Spotify.

If you’re a band or work with managers or other collaborators, you can invite them by going to your Spotify for Artist's menu, choose "Teams", and click the "Add team" button.

You are able to link your existing Spotify for Artists page when you upload a release. If you don't have one yet, we'll request a new one for you.

Although we always make sure to deliver your release with the correct artist page, there could be times when Spotify might still map them on the wrong page. Whenever this happens, we can take action immediately. Just reach out to our customer success team either by logging into your Record Union account or sending us an email at support@recordunion.com.

This is called an “Artist mapping issue” and can occur on some platforms when two bands/artists have a similar name. But hey, good news, this is easily solved! 👍

With this feature, we'll send the pre-save link to you hassle-free, just one day after your release is delivered!
