How Long Does It Take?

It can take several days for albums to be reviewed, approved, and sent to streaming services. By default, your release should go live once ingested by streaming services according to the rough schedule below.

  • iTunes/Apple Music: 1-7 days. A very small percentage of albums go through manual review at Apple, which takes an additional 1-2 weeks or so.
  • 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 (some require manual review by Anghami's team which can take an additional 2-3 days).

If you are uploading a cover track, securing cover song licenses can take up to 14 business days. Releases with cover songs will be submitted as soon as the license is approved by Harry Fox Agency (who handles our cover licenses).

Note: Delays are rare, but they do happen, and are typically outside of Ospo Music's direct control.

Pandora has their own in-house review process to curate content, so we are not able to provide too much info in regards to how long it might take releases to be added to Pandora stations (if they are). To be included in Pandora Premium (Pandora's rad streaming service).
