How long does it take for my music to be available on digital platforms?

The time it takes for music to become available on digital platforms through TuneCore can vary, typically ranging from a few days to several weeks. Once an artist submits their music and completes the necessary steps in the distribution process, TuneCore will review the submission, which usually takes about twenty-four to seventy-two hours. After approval, the music is sent to the selected digital platforms. Each platform has its own processing time, which can lead to variations in when the music actually appears for streaming, download, or purchase. To ensure the best chance of timely availability, it is advisable for artists to plan ahead when releasing new music. Keep in mind that TuneCore may provide guidelines regarding recommended timelines for submissions, so checking the TuneCore website for the most current information can be helpful.
