Why Release on iHeartRadio?
Reach listeners across the United States
iHeartRadio is the digital audio platform of iHeartMedia, one of America's largest audio companies.
The service brings together thousands of live radio stations, music, Artist Radio, playlists, and podcasts, giving artists access to listeners across a broader audio ecosystem than a conventional streaming-only platform.
For artists targeting the U.S. market, iHeartRadio provides another important place for listeners to discover and engage with your music.
Get discovered through Artist Radio
One of iHeartRadio's distinctive music discovery features is Artist Radio.
When listeners search for an artist and start their Artist Radio station, iHeartRadio creates a personalised station featuring music from that artist alongside similar artists.
This means your music can potentially reach listeners who are already interested in artists and genres related to your sound, even if they have never searched for you directly.
Connect streaming with America's radio ecosystem
iHeartRadio combines digital music with iHeartMedia's extensive radio presence across the United States.
Listeners can move between live radio, artist stations, playlists, podcasts, and on-demand music within the same platform, creating multiple ways for music to be discovered.
Digital distribution to iHeartRadio does not automatically mean your music will receive terrestrial radio airplay, but it places your catalogue within the wider iHeartRadio listening ecosystem.
Reach listeners across connected devices
iHeartRadio is available across smartphones, computers, smart speakers, connected cars, televisions, gaming consoles, wearables, and other supported devices.
Its particularly strong presence in cars and connected audio environments gives artists another way to reach listeners during everyday listening beyond mobile streaming.
Additional opportunities beyond streaming
iHeartMedia's wider music ecosystem includes radio programming, live events, artist interviews, awards, festivals, and other music-related content.
These opportunities are separate from standard music distribution and are determined by iHeartMedia's programming and editorial teams, but they make iHeartRadio a distinctive platform for artists developing their presence in the U.S. market.

Frequently
Asked Questions
How do I get my music on iHeartRadio?
Artists and labels can deliver official music releases to iHeartRadio through a music distributor or label. Euphoria distributes your music to iHeartRadio alongside hundreds of other digital music platforms and handles the technical delivery process on your behalf.
Can I upload my music directly to iHeartRadio?
iHeartRadio provides direct submission systems for podcasts and eligible radio stations, but these are different from distributing commercial music releases. Artists generally deliver their official music catalogue through labels and music distributors such as Euphoria.
What is iHeartRadio Artist Radio?
Artist Radio creates a personalised station based around a particular artist. When a listener starts an artist station, iHeartRadio can play songs from that artist alongside music from similar artists. This gives your music an additional opportunity to be discovered by listeners with related music tastes.
Will distributing my music to iHeartRadio get it played on iHeartMedia radio stations?
No. Delivering music to iHeartRadio does not automatically submit your release for terrestrial radio airplay or guarantee that it will be played by an iHeartMedia radio station. Digital distribution and radio programming are separate processes.
Can I choose my iHeartRadio release date?
Yes. When distributing your music through Euphoria, you can schedule your release for a future date. We recommend submitting your music in advance to allow sufficient time for delivery and platform processing.
Can I update my music after it goes live on iHeartRadio?
Supported metadata and release updates can generally be submitted through your music distributor. If your release was distributed through Euphoria, our team can help submit supported changes to iHeartRadio on your behalf.
Can I switch distributors without removing my music from iHeartRadio?
Yes, but catalogue transfers should be carefully coordinated. When moving an existing release to Euphoria, reuse the same ISRCs and original release metadata wherever applicable. We recommend keeping the existing delivery active through your previous distributor until the replacement has been successfully processed to minimise disruption.
Does iHeartRadio pay music royalties? How much?
Yes. Eligible music usage on iHeartRadio generates royalties for music rights holders under applicable licensing arrangements. There is no single fixed amount paid for every stream or radio play, as royalties can vary depending on the type of listening, usage, and applicable rights. If your music is distributed through Euphoria, eligible iHeartRadio revenue will be included in your regular royalty reports and payouts.
