How long does it take for a song to go live on platforms?

Each channel has its own protocols. Therefore each channel will take a different amount of time to process the release.

To ensure the release goes online on the correct date we recommend:

Allowing 14 working days for Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.

Allowing 21 working days for overseas channels.
