What is Original Release Date and Store Release Date ?

When distributing your music through One Music Records, it is essential to understand the distinction between the Original Release Date and the Store Release Date. Below is a detailed explanation to help you plan your music release effectively.

1. Original Release Date

• The Original Release Date refers to the date when your song was first created or released anywhere for the first time.- This includes:  - When the song was uploaded on YouTube or any social media platform.  - Any prior public release or showcasing of the song, such as live performances or previews.- It serves as a historical record of when the song officially debuted in any form.

 2. Store Release Date

• The Store Release Date is the date when you want your song to go live on digital stores and streaming platforms (e.g., Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music).- This is the official release date on these platforms and should be planned carefully to align with your promotional strategy.

   Key Points to Remember:

1. Plan Your Release:   - Submit your song early to allow for any unforeseen delays.   - Double-check all metadata, artwork, and audio files before submission to avoid rejections or corrections.

2. Consistency:   - Ensure that the Original Release Date and Store Release Date are consistent across all platforms to avoid confusion for your listeners.

Example Timeline

•  Original Release Date: January 1, 2024 (the day your song was first released anywhere, whether on YouTube, any platform, or when your song was ready).

• Store Release Date: January 10, 2024.

By understanding and following these guidelines, you can ensure a smooth release process for your music with One Music Records.
