Make sure your song has been delivered to Spotify. If you don’t have much window between your upload with CDBaby and the actual release, just claim your Spotify profile when the song releases. But if you followed my advice and set your release 6 weeks in advance, then you’ll have time to do this. You can find out if your song has been delivered to the stores and is just waiting for release by going to your CDBaby dashboard and clicking on your title, scrolling down to Distribution and then to Partner Delivery. If your release has been delivered to Spotify for at least 48 hours, then proceed.
