When uploading/releasing your work, you don’t have to categorize it as a single, EP, or album. When you upload your work, we will automatically designate it as a single, EP, or album based on the number and length of the uploaded tracks.
Single
- 3 tracks or less
- The total length of all uploaded tracks does not exceed 30 minutes.
- The length of a single track does not exceed 10 minutes.
EP (also known as a mini album)
The following two categories will both be classified as EPs
- 2 or 3 tracks with at least one track exceeding a length of 10 minutes (the total length of all tracks does not exceed 30 minutes)
- 4 to 6 tracks (the total length of all tracks does not exceed 30 minutes)
Album
The following two categories will both be classified as albums
- 7 tracks or more
- 1 to 6 tracks (the total length of all tracks exceeds 30 minutes)
Chinese users tend to refer to singles, EPs, and albums collectively as “Albums”, but music platforms are more precise and only classify works that meet the above mentioned criteria as “Albums”. Please don’t confuse these two.
Please bear in mind that the title,version and artist of release (albums) that consist of only one track (one-track products) must be identical to the track title.
