How to get Verified on Apple Music?

Getting verified on Apple Music can help establish your credibility as an artist and improve your visibility on the platform. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get verified:

1. Distribute Your Music Through a Distributor or Record Label

To be eligible for verification, your music needs to be distributed through a record label. At Replused Records, we make it easy for you to distribute your music to Apple Music and other major platforms. Once your music is live, you can move forward with claiming your artist profile.

2. Claim Your Apple Music for Artists Profile

After distributing your music, the next step is to claim your artist profile through Apple Music for Artists. This platform gives you access to manage your profile, view listener statistics, and update your music catalog. You’ll need to sign in with your Apple ID to complete this process.

3. Build an Online Presence

Apple verifies artists who have a strong online presence. While the exact requirements are not publicly stated, having an active social media profile, a professional website, and press coverage (like features in blogs or music magazines) can help establish your credibility. Apple looks for artists who are not only creating great music but also engaging with their fanbase.

4. Shazam and Custom Artist Image

Although Apple Music does not display a verification badge, having your music appear on Shazam and a custom artist image in your profile are indicators that you are recognized as a verified artist. If your music is listed on Shazam and you have a custom image, it means your account has been verified by Apple Music.

5. Eligibility Criteria

While Apple doesn’t have a specific follower count requirement, having consistent content, engagement, and visibility will help increase your chances of getting verified. The more professional your online presence, the better!

How to get my Music on Shazam?

Shazam, now owned by Apple Music, is one of the leading music discovery apps in the world. If you want to get your music on Shazam, it’s important to understand that your tracks will also be available on Apple Music and other platforms as part of the process. Here's how to get your music on Shazam:

1. Distribute Your Music Through a Record Label

To have your music appear on Shazam, it must first be available on streaming platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, and Deezer. Shazam pulls its music library from these platforms. Once your music is live on any of these services, it will automatically be indexed by Shazam. At Replused Records, we handle the distribution of your music to major platforms, including Shazam.

2. Shazam is Part of Apple Music

Since Shazam is now owned by Apple Music, if your music is available on Apple Music, it will automatically appear on Shazam as well. This gives you dual exposure on two of the most popular music platforms globally.

3. Metadata and Track Information

Make sure that your music’s metadata—like your artist name, track title, and album details—are correctly submitted during the distribution process. Proper metadata ensures that your tracks are easily identifiable on Shazam when users search for them.

4. Promote Your Music

Once your music is on Shazam, the more people interact with it and use Shazam to identify your tracks, the more visibility your music will get. Promote your music across your social media platforms, so fans can easily find and tag your music on Shazam.

How Replused Records Can Help
