Digital music distribution is the modern pathway to worldwide listenership. It delivers music from artists, bands, or record labels to digital stores and streaming platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and Spotify. It replaces traditional physical distribution, providing artists a straightforward means to connect with global audiences.

PMD Digital stands out among the platforms offering free music distribution. Our extensive reach and unique features enable artists to connect with audiences worldwide at no cost. Our commitment to helping musicians make strategic strides in their careers and our user-friendly interface make us an excellent choice for aspiring and established artists. With PMD Digital, you're not just distributing your music—you're becoming part of a global musical community.

Physical music distribution relies on tangible formats like CDs and vinyl, delivered via retail outlets offering a collectable appeal. Digital music distribution, however, utilizes online platforms for instant worldwide access, is more cost- effective, and provides valuable data analytics. This digital shift democratizes distribution and innovates revenue models but also brings challenges like online piracy. In this ever-evolving music landscape, artists and the industry must adapt and navigate these differences while catering to shifting consumer preferences

To be eligible for a YouTube official artist channel, you must be a musical artist or part of a music group with a pre-existing YouTube channel that boasts a substantial follower count. Furthermore, your music should already be distributed via a YouTube Music Partner, a music distributor or a record label. Your eligibility unlocks numerous benefits, helping your music reach a broader audience and providing tools to engage more effectively with your fanbase

The Official Artist Badge is a coveted verification symbol on YouTube. Displayed next to your channel name, it authenticates your channel as the official representation of an artist or band. This badge not only bolsters your credibility but also brings in perks like increased discoverability, a sleek channel layout, and features for fan engagement. In the digital music sphere, this is your badge of honour, and it's instrumental in strengthening your presence and engagement on YouTube

Surprisingly, there's no hard and fast rule about a minimum number of subscribers or views to obtain the Official Artist Badge. The emphasis is more on the authentic representation of an artist or band. Nevertheless, a robust subscriber count and high viewership can amplify your application, making it more prominent to the YouTube team

The timeline for acquiring the Official Artist Badge can vary. Generally, the approval process may extend to several weeks, influenced by YouTube's influx of applications. After you've hit 'submit' on your application, stay updated on its progress through your YouTube account. So, while the wait might require a dose of patience, the rewards of this official recognition are undoubtedly worth it!

To qualify for an Official Artist Channel on YouTube, you must manage a single artist's or band's channel with at least one official music release distributed through a recognized distributor or label. Your channel must adhere to YouTube's policies. Also, you'll need to work with a YouTube Partner Manager, be part of YouTube's Partner Program, or have an established relationship with a label network that works with YouTube. Remember, the channel must contain active content, ideally under an artist name that matches the channel name. While the approval process may take some time, it's worth the wait!

In the music world, a Primary Artist takes centre stage, often leading vocals and creative direction, and is prominently highlighted in promotional materials. On the other hand, a Featured Artist is a collaborator, contributing distinct elements or vocals but acknowledged separately. This distinction helps to clearly outline creative contributions in a song or album, ensuring every artist gets their rightful recognition in the diverse world of musical collaborations.
