Why does a release look different on Spotify or in S4A?

Just because a release is looking good on Spotify for Music Providers doesn't always mean it's ready for streaming or for our other Apps.

You should send New Releases at least 5 business days in advance, and send Updates at least 2 business days in advance. Following these timelines will guarantee your New Releases and Updates reflect correctly on Spotify.

You can also check the Catalog view of Spotify for Music Providers to make sure there are no availability flags on this release.

Also, changes in Spotify for Artists can take 2 business days after delivery before showing.
