Track Your Release Status with Our TuneCore Release Tracker
You pour your blood, sweat, and tears into writing and recording a song. You upload it to streaming services. You wait for it to appear online with little to no feedback…until now.
Introducing TuneCore Release Tracker – the most convenient and comprehensive way to follow your next release through every step of the distribution process.
Here’s how it works.
What Is TuneCore’s Release Tracker?
TuneCore Release Tracker is a simple and vibrant way to observe your music as it travels from initial upload to being live online. You can see your songs' exact stage, giving you peace of mind and the opportunity to make any necessary changes that our expert review team suggests.
Musicians deserve transparency about every facet of the music industry – this is our way of demystifying one of its most common components.
A Step-by-Step How to Access the Release Tracker
You can access the Release Tracker from three separate locations on your TuneCore dashboard:

Tracker’s Statuses: What Each Phase Means
There are four key stages to Release Tracker – let’s go over them in detail.
Submitted
Your music is uploaded to TuneCore and in the queue for our expert team to review.
Processing
Our team reviews your music to ensure it passes the quality and content standards check of any streaming platform or music store you’re sending it to.
Needs Action: The Release Tracker status that says “ProcessingIn Review” will update to “Needs Action” – this means TuneCore needs you to modify the upload for it to match the quality and content standards check (don’t worry – we’ll let you know what that is!)
Denied: Unfortunately, your music is “denied” and cannot be released. The Release Tracker won’t provide the “why,” but it will share a link to contact Support and learn more.
Sent to Stores
Congratulations! Your music passed review and is en route to your chosen streaming platforms and music stores.
Live
Your music is live and ready to be shared with family, friends, and fans worldwide.
Share Your Music Once It’s Live!
This is the fun part. Release Tracker includes a customizable asset to share your song and release announcements on social media. It always contains:
The TuneCore logo
Album artwork
Song Name
Artist name
Your release’s status (i.e., “Live”)
Want to get even fancier? Add a moving background or audio snippet to your announcement. It’s easy to do so and happens right through Release Tracker.
