Each of our digital partners has a unique timeline for accepting new content, so delivery schedules will vary. If you’re primarily concerned with iTunes, you’ll be happy to hear that we’ll send your music to them within 24 hours (if we haven’t done so already). After that, the amount of time it takes iTunes to make your music available for purchase on their site is beyond our control, but they often take from as little as a few days to a max of 1-2 weeks. |

21st April 2020Great news. We have had a very quick reply from YouTube. See below.
Hi Mark, Thanks for reaching out! I hope that you and your family are safe out there. It’s great to know that you’re interested in taking your channel to the next level by upgrading it to Official Artist Channel (OAC)! That’s actually a great way for you to showcase your talent to a much wider audience — I’d be happy to help. Just to give you a bit of information, an Official Artist Channel brings together all your content from your different YouTube channels into one place and we appreciate you providing the links for the upgrade. I’m happy to inform you that I’ve successfully submitted a request for an upgrade to our specialists and it could take a week to a few months to perform quality assurance before upgrading the channel to an OAC. You’ll know that the channel has been upgraded to an OAC once:
