It pretty much does what it says on the tin 🥫

An extended album is similar to an album, however, it’s a little bit longer. Stores will class extended (EXTD) albums as releases with 18 tracks and over.

There’s no set definition of how long an extended album is. Lengths vary between stores and distributors. We choose our definitions to favour most stores.

If your RouteNote release features more than one track, you’ll need to ensure to follow the policies that our partner stores hold for multi-track releases.

If you credit any artists on your tracks as a Primary artist, then you must also credit them within the album details as a Primary artist. Any other artist roles are to be credited in the album artist metadata if they appear in all tracks in the same role.

Please note! When uploading, your title versions at track level must match your album version.

Please refrain from using ‘extended album’ or ‘ext album’ or similar within your track or album title as this may not be accepted.
