It's crucial that the information you've provided on your front cover art matches the information provided in your submission, and vice versa.
For example, if your artist name appears on your front cover art as "Chris Robley & the Fear of Heights," the exact same artist name must appear in the information provided (and not just "Chris Robley"). Such discrepancies could cause confusion for customers, and as a result, our digital partners have requested we only deliver content that is a match.
If you received an email from us about a mismatch you should find information about the issue below.
Artist Name:
- The spelling and formatting of an artist name on the front cover art must match with the artist name entered in your submission.
- Additional performing artists listed on the artwork must be credited and added as a primary or featured artist on the album or on the specific tracks they perform on.
- All artists listed as “featuring” or “with” on the front cover artwork must be credited as a featured artist on at least one track with the same spelling.
Album/Single Title:
- The spelling and formatting of an album/single title on the cover art must match the album/single title entered in your submission.
- Version info (Remix, Radio Version, etc.) used on cover art must also be included in the album/single title of your submission.
Language:
- The information on the front cover art must only be presented in one language.
- The language and or characters used on the front cover art must match with the album language presented in your submission. For example, if the info on your cover art is in Greek characters, your submission must also be entered in Greek characters, and vice versa. Or, if you selected “Spanish” as the album language, the information on your cover art must be presented in Spanish.
- Cover art must be in the same language as the metadata. Meaning, if the metadata text is in English characters, the artwork cannot be in Japanese or Greek Characters only, for example.
