How long does it take to get music on Pandora?

We care about making sure that your songs get out to your fan base as quickly as possible. Pandora is a curated service and has their own review process (which can take at least 3 weeks) and curates all music that is delivered to them. As a result, we are not able to provide a time frame for when content will become available in their services.

How often does Pandora pay out?

While TuneCore delivers you your digital sales and streaming revenue as soon as possible, we still have to wait for Pandora. Typically, there is a two-month delay on streaming services and online stores earnings. So, if your music is selected to be featured on Pandora and is streamed in February, you’ll see your first payments in April. Pandora will still be paying a portion of revenue through Sound Exchange.
