The release date is when your music goes live in stores. Two things guide your choice.
At least 10 days ahead We need about 10 days of lead time to deliver your release to every store before the date. The date picker will not let you choose anything sooner.
We suggest a Friday Most music comes out on Fridays, and it helps your release stand alone that day. When you open the date field we suggest the next open Friday, but you are free to pick another date.
One release per label per day Two releases from the same label cannot share the same day. If the day you want is already taken by another release on that label, we will point you to the next open date so your release gets its own spotlight.
You can change the date any time while the release is still a draft or in review.
