Hi Pete! Thanks so much for this vid:) I'm planning on releasing a lead single for my album at first and adding an additional single to it after a bit so that they both appear on the same tracklisting as if it were an A-side and B-side and then release the whole album with both those singles on it. This would mean releasing the lead single, then re-releasing it with the "B-side" and then releasing it again for a final time as part of the album, this time not deleting the "single avec b-side" version but releasing both with the same ISRC code so that they share the same streams. Do you think releasing that first single 3 separate times with the same ISRC code will piss off the fat cats down at DistroKid?

Hey there. So it all boils down to the fact that as long as you don’t have two releases with the same tracks in the same order you’re golden. Makes releasing singles and then EPs quite a good way to go.

I’m “cheating” a little bit at Songtember by starting my Songtember song a week early. My challenge for myself this year is to create record and release the song BY September 2nd or even 1st - which, despite me calling it “cheating,” is actually harder because there’s only five days to do that 🤯 But I really want the song to release through Amuse within September, which is only (hopefully) possible if I submit it on September 1st or 2nd (it would then presumably release on September 29th or 30th). I don’t want to upload anything to KZfaq directly and don’t currently have the money for anything like DistroKid. This song is catchy af though lol I’m calling it Songtember 2: “Electric MooMoo”

Thanks for this information Pete! So am I right to think that it is not possible to release an album track by track until they are all released? As opposed to using your strategy of releasing single by single, then reuploading all of them into an album format?

@PeteJohnsMusic 2 жыл бұрын

You can release an album and then individual singles separately as well. But you can’t do what some of the bigger artists do which is have an album with some tracks greyed out for future release.

@nathanom_ Жыл бұрын

Thanks, this help a lot! What would be your advice if I didn’t like the sound of my singles on Spotify , I want to bring up the bass. Can I simply mix the bass up a little on the full album release and still link each song to the original single song code? Or do I just have to upload the full album and lose the play counts? Each song only has a few streams but I was starting to get some momentum going so don’t want to lose that. Thanks for all the tips!

Hello Pete! Currently figuring this out to release my debut album, and I have remastered some singles to fit the album flow. Will the metadata still align if the new audio file has a small lenght difference compared to its single version? Thank you!

Hey Pete! Thank you for helping us out with your good videos. What you explain in this video is exactly what I want to do soon, but before doing so I tried out a re-upload through DistroKid using my old ISRC number. With that method I should keep my former stream counts, shouldn’t I? Is that something what needs a bit of time to re-appear? Because right now I am on zero counts. I re-uploaded last Monday and from today it appears in Spotify. I actually tried this out - before assembling a album - with a song which needed replacement with also a relative low count number. Cheers! detmar

Hey there. The system is pretty imperfect. It should sync to your previous plays but there’s no guarantees.

@@PeteJohnsMusic Hi Pete, since today this particular song updated to its original numbers. So it works! Thank you. Did you mention somewhere that you can only update it once? This was my idea: I rebooted this one song because of a similar glitch like in your song from the tutorial. This song is part of an album (to come). I released 6 songs, movements as we classical musicians say, as singles. I want to group them in an album but before this I wanted to replace every single one with the last version with a slightly better mastering. So is this a good idea: first replace the singles with the remastered version and then schedule for 2 weeks later the album version (with the same remastered singles of course) like you discuss in this particular tutorial? I hope I am clear with my question. And why this schedule? I want to do some ads with the remastered singles before the album launch. One of the songs featured already in an editorial Spotify playlist. In the end the album release would immediately start with some good numbers. What do you reckon?

Hello sir you saved my life! I'm about to release my first album and i have a question! If I released a song with a primary artist when I add that song to my album do I have to add them again as a primary artist as well??

hey pete, thanks for the super helpful video, and sorry if this question was already asked, i had a look but couldn't find it. if I choose to delete the old single releases after re-releasing them as an EP, will the playlist placements of those singles automatically be lost or is Spotify clever enough to handle the allocation of songs into their playlists based on ISRC-code, meaning that it will not matter if I delete the old releases? thanks in advance for your reply :-)

Hey there. If you have the Musician Plus plan and use the ISRC it SHOULD sync up, but there are no guarantees in my experience. Maybe reach out to DistroKid directly if you want more info - studiolivetoday.com/distrokid

hey pete ! Did your EP go live just after a week? Cause DK recommend to set the release 4 week before the chosen day . Please let me know !!!

@PeteJohnsMusic 3 жыл бұрын

Yup. If you want to do any major promoting and ensure it’s available on time I would make sure it’s at least 4 weeks in advance.

Thank you so much for the video!!!! This helped me release an album. I wanted to ask if I delete one of my singles that is also in the album (they have the same ISRC code) will the song dissapear on the album as well?

@PeteJohnsMusic 2 жыл бұрын

Hey there. Releases are all treated separately, so deleting a song won't impact an album or EP with that song on it.

@lust5238 Жыл бұрын

Hey Pete! Great video, thanks a lot for the help, I just have one question... After we put the ISRC code of the singles in the album, after the album realese can I delete the singles or is there any problem? Thanks a lot man!

Hi Pete! I have 6 songs ready to release it as EP. My plan is releasing them one by one every week (for 6 weeks) as singles. But the sixth song I will release it as EP/Album. Will this work? My goal is to make sure I pitch them all since releasing all the songs at the same time wont pitch all the song from the album. Do you think this is a good idea? Anyways thank you for this helpful video!

@PeteJohnsMusic 2 жыл бұрын

Yup. You can release individual singles and then release all the singles as an EP at the end, or at the he same time as the 6th single, so 7 releases all together.

Will the streams from the album version of the song be the same as the streams from the single version of the song? Or are they separate tracks?

Separate. As they are separate uploads and treated as separate tracks.

Hey there. Not sure. If you use the ISRC then it should add to your previous stats.

@asylumstofficial Жыл бұрын

I know you created this video a while ago but I was wondering if we even need to put in the "credits" information for the tracks that we already released as singles. Will the ISRC code automatically use the same songwriter info as previously placed?

Hey there. I think you'd need to still update the songwriter and other info directly in DistroKid. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
