Release Dates

Choosing a release date that gives stores enough time.

Last updated September 8, 2026

Your release date is the day your music is scheduled to go live. Stores need time to receive and process the delivery first, so the date must be set with enough lead time.

Kalmori's recommendations

  • Minimum: submit at least 2 weeks before release day.
  • Recommended: 3–4 weeks before.
  • Albums and larger campaigns: 4–6 weeks.

Choosing a day

Many artists choose Fridays to align with weekly new-release cycles, but any day works. Avoid dates immediately after major holidays when store processing is slower.

Changing a date

While the release is a draft or in Needs Action you can change the date freely. After approval a date change may require redelivery — contact Support. Once a release is live its release date cannot be changed.

Important:

Important: Store processing times are estimates, not guarantees. Kalmori Music cannot guarantee the exact time a platform will publish a release after delivery.
