How do I get my music on Snapchat?
If you’re looking to get your music on Snapchat, EmuBands can help. We’ve helped thousands of artists get their music on social platforms and streaming services, for a simple, one-off fee per release. For more information on our pricing, and to get started, click here.
We deliver to Snapchat automatically as part of our auto opt-in feature. If you’re already distributing with EmuBands and have auto opt-in enabled, your existing catalogue will be delivered to Snapchat, and all future releases will be sent there as new partners become available.
If you’ve chosen to manage your store preferences manually, you can add Snapchat by logging into your account and following these instructions. Please note that Snapchat is part of the 7-Digital contract, so simply opt-in to 7-Digital, and it’ll make its way to Snapchat. If you’ve already opted-in to 7-Digital, your music should be on Snapchat soon.
How does music on Snapchat work?
Snapchat features a library called Snap Sounds, which allows users to add up to 60 seconds of music to their Snaps and Stories.
To be available in Snap Sounds, your track must:
-
Be delivered to Snapchat via EmuBands
Have the composition registered with a Performance Rights Organisation (PRO) in the US or Europe
Snapchat handles publishing clearance on their side. They can only make tracks available in Snap Sounds if the underlying composition is properly registered with a PRO. If your track is not appearing, this is likely the reason.
