The review, approval, and sending of albums to streaming platforms can take several days. If you need your album to be available at a particular date, click here to learn about release dates. Otherwise, your release will typically go live immediately after it is ingested by streaming services, as outlined in the rough schedule below:
- iTunes/Apple Music: 1-7 days (note: a minor percentage of albums undergo manual review at Apple, which may require an additional 1-2 weeks)
- Spotify: 2-5 days
- Amazon: 1-2 days
- YouTube Music: 1-2 days
- Deezer: 1-2 days
- TIDAL: 2 days
- Facebook/Instagram: 1-2 weeks
- TikTok: 1-2 days
- Anghami: 1-5 days (note: some are manually reviewed by Anghami's team, adding a possible extra of 2-3 days).
Note: It's unusual, yet possible, for delays to occur and these are mostly beyond Jumpstr's control.
Pandora operates a proprietary review process to select content, thus we can't provide much information about the time required for releases to be incorporated into Pandora stations (if they are). For inclusion in Pandora Premium, Pandora' s outstanding streaming service, please read THIS.
