Costing just £30 / €35 / $40 per year, EmuBands Plus builds on everything included in our Basic plan, while unlocking a powerful set of tools that make managing, marketing and monetizing your releases easier.
What’s included with EmuBands Plus?
Alongside everything included in our Basic plan, EmuBands Plus includes:
- Official Charts registration
- Pre-save setup and Smart Links
- Compilation and Various Artists releases
- Digital booklets
- Custom record label name
- Custom metadata title casing
- Custom price tiers

What is Charts Registration?
EmuBands Plus includes registration with official charts where eligible, including the official UK, Irish, US, Canadian, and French charts. This ensures that your releases are correctly tracked for chart performance without any extra admin or cost on your end.
What are Pre-saves and Smart Links?
Smart Links give you one clean URL that sends fans to their preferred streaming service. Before release, it works as a pre-save. On release day, it automatically updates to point directly to your live release.
Pre-saves help build early momentum and strengthen your campaigns.

Can I release compilations or Various Artists projects?
Yes. EmuBands Plus allows you to distribute compilation releases and Various Artists projects, which are not available on the Basic plan. This is ideal for labels, collectives, remix projects, and collaborative releases that involve multiple artists under one release.

What is a custom label name?
With EmuBands Plus, you can set a custom record label name that appears across digital stores instead of the label name defaulting to your artist name, helping your releases look more professional and consistent.
How do TikTok clip start times work?
Choose exactly where a track starts on TikTok. This means you can highlight the strongest hook or chorus instead of relying on the default opening seconds, giving your music a better chance to connect. With EmuBands Plus, you can easily request a custom start time for your TikTok clips by contacting our Artist Relations team.
Do I still keep 100% of my royalties?
Yes. Always. EmuBands does not take any commission. You retain full ownership of your music and keep 100% of your royalties on EmuBands Plus, just like on all of our plans.
How do I upgrade to EmuBands Plus?
Upgrading is quick and easy. Simply sign in to your account, head to the Subscription section of your dashboard, and select EmuBands Plus. Your subscription runs annually, and you can upgrade further to Pro or Premium at any time, by paying the difference.

Running pre-release marketing campaigns – Pre-saves and Smart Links let you promote your music before release, build anticipation, and turn early interest into first-day streams across platforms
