YouTube Official Artist Channels (OAC) help organize your music catalog into sections that display your songs, albums, and music videos clearly.
Having an Official Artist Channel depends on having an Artist-Topic channel, which is auto-generated when your music is delivered to YouTube Music through a distributor like ChilClick.
Requirements to Apply #
To qualify for an Official Artist Channel:
- You must have an Artist-Topic channel from your distributed music.
- Your YouTube content should be mainly music-related.
- At least three music videos must be uploaded on your main YouTube channel.
How to Apply #
Send a request from the email linked to your YouTube channel to support@chilclick.com with the following:
- Your YouTube Artist Channel URL
- Your Artist-Topic Channel URL

Additional Notes #
- Initially, new Art Tracks may map to a “Various Artists” Topic channel.
- Once all metadata is correct, YouTube will re-map the track to the correct Artist-Topic channel within 1-30 days.
