When uploading music, keep in mind that streaming platforms have specific rules for how song and release titles should appear. They will reject titles that contain:

Excessive extra information

Unusual or unnecessary parentheses

Strange or non-standard punctuation

Dates or years

An artist listed as both the primary and a featured artist

URLs, email addresses, contact information, or social media handles

The names of streaming services

The word “Official” as part of an artist name


Below are examples showing titles that would be rejected, alongside the properly formatted version:
