What is the Release Grid? 

The Release Grid keeps every release for your artists in one place: what's coming out, when, how and where it's being pitched, and where people can listen. This guide walks through each column so you know what goes where.

Release Grid: Column Guide

The Release Grid keeps every release for your artists in one place: what's coming out, when, how and where it's being pitched, and where people can listen. This guide walks through each column so you know what goes where.

Adding a release

  1. Go to your Roster and select the artist.
  2. Click Releases.
  3. Click Add Row and start typing in what you know. You don't need to fill in every column to get started.

Every column is typed in rather than picked from a list, so you have flexibility in what you enter. Using consistent wording across releases (like always writing "Single" instead of "single" or "1-track") makes your grid easier to scan and sort.

The basics

  • Asset Release: The artist the release belongs to. Each release has one artist.
  • Project Title: The name of the release. This is what appears on the calendar and in AG Intelligence charts.
  • Release Date: When the release comes out. Releases without a date stay in the grid but won't appear on any calendar.
  • Status: Where the release stands, such as tentative, confirmed, or delayed.

Release details

  • Type: The format of the release, such as Single, EP, LP, Box Set, Compilation, Live Album, or Remix.
  • Release Version: Use this for things like a deluxe edition or radio edit, whatever helps you tell versions apart.
  • Advisory: Explicit or Clean.
  • Primary Genre and Secondary Genre: The main genre, plus a second one if the release spans two. Using Apple Music's genre names keeps things consistent across your roster.
  • Blurb: A short, elevator-pitch description of the release.
  • Artist Photo: Paste a link to the photo. Image uploads aren't supported.

Dates

  • Next Anniversary: The release's next upcoming anniversary (for example, the one-year or five-year mark), so you can plan anniversary campaigns ahead of time.

Identifiers

  • UPC, ASIN, and Apple Music ID: One per release.
  • ISRCs: Add as many as you need. We recommend separating them with commas.

Pitching and publishing

  • DSP Pitched: Whether the release has been pitched to streaming services (for example, Yes or No).
  • Pitch: What was pitched or where the pitch stands.
  • Pub Info Received: Whether publishing info has come in, and when.

Wins and playlists
 Write notes, list playlist names, or paste links to playlists and articles. Links stay clickable.

  • WINS: General wins for the release, like press or sync placements.
  • DSP WINS: Wins on streaming services, like editorial features.
  • Playlist - DSP WINS: Specific playlist placements on streaming services.
  • Date Playlist Added: When the release was added to playlists. You can record a different date for each service (for example, one for Apple Music and one for Spotify).

Links
 Each of these holds a single URL: SmartLink, Spotify URL, Tidal Link, Deezer, Soundcloud, Amazon Music, TikTok URL, YouTube Link, QOBUZ Link, Napster Link, and Pandora Link.
