Spotify Delivery Times: Service Level Guideline

To ensure your releases are available on Spotify exactly on the planned date, it is crucial to submit your files and metadata with enough lead time. Spotify strictly enforces its Service Level Guideline (SLG).

Delivery Type Minimum Required Lead Time
🆕 New release 5 business days before release date
🔄 Updates to existing releases 2 business days before update date
🛑 Takedowns 2 business days before request date

📋 Requirements for a complete delivery:

Spotify requires final versions upon submission. This implies:

  • Final mastered audio (no temporary audio files).
  • Definitive cover art (no QR codes or external logos).
  • Complete and accurate metadata (lyricists, composers, features).

Our Recommendation:

We highly recommend delivering your releases at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance. This provides several benefits:

  • Allows you to pitch your song to Spotify editors via Spotify for Artists (only possible with unreleased music delivered ahead of time).
  • Enables effective pre-save campaigns.
  • Ensures time to fix any metadata or technical review issues before release day.

*Note: Business days exclude weekends and holidays. Deliveries submitted late might not be live on the scheduled release date.
