Beatport Lead Times

For distribution to Beatport via LabelGrid, it's recommended that content be uploaded with a sufficient lead time to ensure successful processing and release.

Beatport advises that tracks should be delivered at least 2-3 weeks before the intended release date. This window allows for necessary quality control checks and any potential adjustments or corrections to metadata.

Providing this advance notice also increases the chances for tracks to be considered for feature placements or to be included in Beatport's curated charts, which can significantly boost visibility and sales.

A well-timed submission ensures that your music is available to DJs and listeners as planned, leading to a more strategic and impactful release on one of the leading electronic music platforms.
