After you upload your music through the ChilClick Uploader, it goes through our review process to ensure everything meets distribution standards. Once approved, each streaming service or store processes your release on its own schedule, so availability may vary.
Planning Ahead:
To make sure your release launches smoothly across all platforms, we recommend setting your release date 2-4 weeks in advance. This allows time for editorial pitching, promotion, and ensures all stores have enough time to ingest your music.
Typical Processing Times by Platform:
| Platform | Estimated Time to Go Live |
|---|---|
| Spotify | 24-48 hours |
| Apple Music / iTunes | 24-72 hours |
| TIDAL | 1-3 business days |
| Amazon Music | 3-7 business days |
| Deezer | 3-5 business days |
| Pandora | 3-7 business days |
| YouTube Music | 3-7 business days |
| YouTube Content ID | 2-5 business days |
Additional Notes:
- On Spotify, you can claim your artist page before your first release goes live. Contact ChilClick Support if you need help.
- For other platforms, you must wait until your first release is live to claim your artist page.
- YouTube Content ID claims follow both automated and manual moderation. Some videos may take longer to process.
ChilClick ensures your music reaches all stores efficiently while keeping you in full control of your release.
