What is the recommended lead time for distributing music to streaming platforms?

All streaming platforms operate on different timelines, however for Spotify it is recommended that all clients prepare music releases and submit for delivery at least five (5) business days before earliest release date as specified in the metadata.

This means your new music will need to be uploaded and submitted for distribution in your Horus Music account at least 1 full week ahead of your chosen release date. However, we recommend allowing more lead time just in case our submissions review team spot any issues with your release.
