Pandora has a more selective and manual review process compared to other platforms. Even after your release has gone live on most stores, it may take additional time for it to appear on Pandora — or it may not appear at all.
Here are a few key reasons your release might not be live yet:
- Manual Curation: Unlike fully automated platforms, Pandora often hand-curates new releases, especially for radio-style streaming. Not all releases are accepted.
- Longer Review Times: Pandora’s ingestion and approval process can take several weeks, even after your release date.
- U.S.-Only Availability: Pandora is only available in the United States, so if your release is region-restricted or doesn't meet U.S. guidelines, it may not go live.
