My Release Isn't Appearing on Apple Music, Help!

Modified on Tue, 05 Apr 2022 at 10:53 PM

Is your song appearing on all other platforms/stores, but not Apple Music?


Apple Music/iTunes are one of the strictest platforms when it comes to properly uploading a release to them - if you do anything wrong, they will reject your release.


To prevent this from happening, please ensure you're following these guidelines:


  • Your release image has no text, or the text is minimal, small, and exactly matches your release name or artist name.


  • Your release name, track name, and other field forms (except artist name) follow PROPER capitalization of the first letter of each word(Like This For Example).


  • If your track is an instrumental and you select 'Instrumental - NO VOCALS' in the 'Vocals' field, it must have absolutely no vocals at all (not even a half-second sample).

  • The language you select in the 'Vocals' field must exactly match the language of the vocals on your song.


Apple Music/iTunes are the most strict about the guidelines above, so if you follow them well you should not have any more issues going forward :)
