An album is a bigger moment than a single — and a smarter rollout wins. The modern independent playbook: release singles first to build momentum, then drop the full album. Here's how to plan it, free.
Release 2-3 singles from the album in the weeks before, each with a pre-save and playlist pitch. Singles warm up the algorithm and your audience.
Order songs for flow — a strong opener, singles placed to pull listeners through, and consistent metadata across every track.
Deliver the full album early so you can pitch it and set an album pre-save/pre-order. Pick a Friday.
Cover art, Canvas videos, short clips for each single, and your link-in-bio ready for launch day.
Release the album, then keep pushing individual tracks for weeks — an album is a campaign, not a single day.
