Help people share your music release

A song is easier to pass on when someone knows where to listen and how to describe it. Whether you are releasing a single, album or music video, prepare a destination that works and a message people can share honestly.

Create a Share Request More sharing guides

Choose one listening destination

Use the official song, album, video or artist page. Open it on a phone while signed out. Check that the correct release appears and make any access requirements clear. If the destination gives listeners several platform choices, keep the release title and artist easy to find.

Give the release a short introduction

Name the artist and release, explain what kind of music it is, and include the release date when it matters. Use details a listener can verify. Avoid claims such as “everyone's new favorite” or invented chart success.

For example:

Example: [Artist] has released [title], a [short, accurate description]. Listen here: [official release link].

This is a starting point, not a testimonial. People should adapt it to what they actually know and believe.

Supply material you have the right to share

Make approved artwork, credits and a short description available. If you provide an audio or video excerpt, confirm you can authorize its use in the intended place. Owning a link does not establish rights to every image or recording on the destination page.

Ask for a relevant share

An audience interested in the artist or genre is a better fit than an unrelated feed. Check community and platform rules. A paid share should disclose that relationship clearly; it should not pretend to be an independent fan recommendation.

Separate a share from a listening result

State what action the request asks for and what proof is required. Track streams, saves, subscribers and ticket sales separately from completed shares. Do not request artificial plays, fake reviews or fabricated engagement.

Before publishing the request, check the destination, message, audience, timing, pay, disclosure and proof instructions together.
