🎶 How to Resolve Artist Mapping Errors on Platforms?

When you make a distribution request, Wiseband does its best to ensure your release reaches the right place at the right time. However, once your music is sent to the platforms, it is formatted, sorted, and then assigned to an artist profile. In some cases, the profile might belong to another artist who shares the same name as you. No worries, we have all the necessary tools to fix this!

Question 5

🚫 Why Your Release May Have Been Rejected?

Accepted Answer

🚫 Why Was My Distribution Rejected?

First of all, the availability of your music on streaming platforms is a priority for many independent artists. However, in some cases a product may see its digital distribution refused. This can be disconcerting for the person who submits a product for distribution, but there are several reasons why this can happen.

In this article, we'll explore in detail the factors that can lead to music distribution rejection.

1️⃣ Reported Content and Property Rights Issues

Initially, if your music is flagged for copyright violation or any other reason, it may be refused. Moreover, failure to respect property rights can be a major reason for refusal. Make sure you have the necessary exclusive rights to all aspects of your music, including samples used.

2️⃣ Suspected Use of AI-Generated Content

The use of AI-generated content is experiencing growing popularity today. While this technology can represent an interesting way to stimulate creation, it can also be misused to automatically distribute content with the aim of generating fake streams.

Moreover, the use of AI-generated content can lead to infringement of works protected by copyright. At Wiseband, we prefer to prevent this type of obscure practice. Given that this field remains too unclear to be reliable and free of legal risks, we choose to promote authentic music created by real human beings.

3️⃣ Random Covers
