TuneCore's New Unlimited Release Plan
SINGAPORE / NEW YORK CITY -
Media OutReach
- 8 June 2022 -
Today, TuneCore, the leading independent digital music distributor for
self-releasing artists, announces the company’s biggest change since
opening for business 16 years ago—its new Unlimited Release Pricing
Plans. The announcement was made by Andreea Gleeson, Chief Executive
Officer, TuneCore.
Since its inception, TuneCore, a division of global
digital music company Believe, has democratized access to music
distribution for self-releasing artists by introducing the first flat
fee, pay-per-release distribution model on the market. Today, successful
release strategies have shifted from doing a few EPs or one album per
year to releasing singles more often and more regularly to stay top of
mind with existing and potential fans. With the launch of TuneCore’s
Unlimited program, constant music creation is made more accessible for
all artists by giving them the control to release an unlimited number of
singles and albums. For the free plan, artists are able to get their
music directly into the music libraries of social media platforms like
TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube and start making money right
away, as they crowdsource the music’s popularity directly with fans. As
they move through their careers, artists will be able to upgrade their
plan to better meet their evolving needs as they grow.
Commented Gleeson,
“We’ve spent a year speaking directly to artists and labels about
how we can make our service better for them. What emerged is: artists
want to be able to test their new music for free before distributing to
all services and they want to release the music they are creating
instantly, regularly, and seamlessly with one annual subscription
enabling unlimited music distribution. TuneCore’s new program gives
self-releasing artists at any stage of their careers the freedom to
choose the plan that works best for them, while maintaining the high
quality of service TuneCore is known for. With TuneCore Unlimited,
artists pay less and earn more.”
Sylvain Delange, Managing Director, Believe Asia Pacific
added, “In a region where fan engagement is essential for Artists,
access to the right tools, resources and most importantly the ability to
generate revenues on social platforms and DSPs with their music,
without limitations is critical to fuel the growth of a healthier more
diverse Independent Music Ecosystem in SouthEast Asia. TuneCore was the
first DIY platform to offer a fully localized solution in countries like
Thailand and Indonesia giving artists an even better access in their
home language. Today, with the launch of a free plan and an unlimited
plan, TuneCore demonstrates yet again its commitment to ALL artists,
wherever they are in the world, giving them equal access to best in
class distribution service and unrivaled monetization.”
TuneCore’s new Unlimited program includes four plans catered to give options and choice to meet the unique needs of all artists:
-
- The New Artist Plan - FREE
is a unique one-stop solution on the market that empowers unlimited
release of songs to the music libraries of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok
and YouTube (including Shorts, Content ID and access to YouTube’s
Official Artist Channel) to facilitate discovery and virality on key
social media platforms with no upfront fee and paying out 80% of what is
collected to the artist. The first-of-its-kind plan is great for
artists who are just starting out, giving them the ability to make money
while experimenting and testing their music.
-
- The Rising Artist Plan - $14.99 per year
is among the most affordable unlimited distribution plans on the
market. It includes everything from the New Artist plan plus Unlimited
release distribution to 150+
streaming and store partners like Spotify, Apple Music,
Amazon Music, Deezer and Tidal all while continuing to pay artists 100%
of revenue. This plan also includes access to pre-schedule all release
dates, official verification on Spotify and Apple Music, as well as
artist support response time within 72 hours.
-
- The Breakout Artist Plan - $29.99 per year
includes everything from the “New Artist” and “Rising Artist” plans
plus free access to Automator (automatically including your release in
all streaming and digital stores that will be available in the future),
downloadable reporting and artist support response time within 48 hours.
-
- The Professional Plan - $49.99 per year
is designed for labels, managers and artists who are more advanced in
their careers and would benefit from more sophisticated release
features. It includes everything from the other three plans plus premium
sales reporting, use of your own UPC and a custom label name, access to
select country restrictions, exclusive partnerships, and promotional
opportunities. This plan also gives the ability to add additional artist
profiles (for $14.99/artist per year) and the fastest artist support
response time, within 24 hours.
Cyrus Chen, Head of TuneCore, SouthEast Asia explained, “Last
year, we launched a plan for artists to distribute unlimited releases
on Social platforms for FREE. Now, we’re extending unlimited releases to
all our paid plans. This reflects and reaffirms our commitment in
democratizing access to music distribution to best serve independent
artists and labels. In addition to getting top level service and higher
payouts, our artists will now have the most affordable unlimited
distribution plans in the market. We want to empower creators to unleash
their full artistic potential with Unlimited.”
TuneCore artist, Papoose, commented, “Anyone who has
followed my career closely would know that I believe in giving as much
control to the artist as possible. This is done by allowing the artist
to create what they want and to release music when they please. It is
exciting to see that TuneCore values its artists enough to give them the
freedom of consistent creation and I truly believe that this will
change the face of the music industry. TuneCore has always been the best
distributor and now everyone can afford it.”
The new Unlimited program gives artists the freedom to
create more music and experiment with different release strategies to
advance their careers and feed their growing fanbases. Even those
sensitive to pricing can utilize the New Artist free plan or the Rising
Artist $14.99 plan to experience TuneCore's expertise in independent
distribution and become eligible for upstream into Believe Label &
Artist Solutions or Believe Artists Services divisions’ “Signed By”
program which has benefited over 400 TuneCore artists globally.
Continued Gleeson,
“With all of these changes, one thing stays the same - TuneCore
will never waiver from putting artists first and with each update to our
service, we will keep our artists’ needs front of mind. Ultimately,
we’re here to help them make their music better, and help them become
better known.”
