Thanks for telling me
Whwn you make an update of a song name, does the music go offline until the update gets approved?
Hi Felix, if your release has already been approved and distributed then your music will remain as it was until we are able to update it. If you update your release before we’ve had time to distribute your release then it will be held whilst we moderate the release.
I released my first music as a artist name ‘Rakesh Krushna Joshi’ but I change my artist name for this release in November as ‘Rakesh Joshi’ (not approved yet) but simultaneously I also released a second music with artist name ‘Rakesh Joshi’ (approved) in November. So, On YouTube there are already my topic channel as ‘Rakesh Krushna Joshi’ but for second music the new topic channel generated as ‘Rakesh Joshi’, because artist name for my first release is not changed yet. But I have a confusion, when you update my artist name for my first release, is it available in my previous topic channel of second release or it will create new. This is also for Spotify and other stores.
I got the same situation as you bro. is your artist name okay now? what did you do please help
When I change my artist username on Spotify will I lose all of my Spotify stats?
Thank you RouteNote!
Hi! will it generate a new topic channel once I update the release?
Also, I was going to change my artist name but I already linked the old name with my main channel via RouteNote.
If I change my official artist channel’s name, is it possible that the topic channel would unmerge so I could link the new one with my main channel?
Hello, when your release is first uploaded to YouTube Music it will create a topic channel for you. If you change your artist name, your releases will go to a new artist profile or topic channel for that name. I don’t think they will be un-merged from an Official Artist Channel once linked though.
