The magic 8 ball senses this one’s a no 😕

If your metadata contains any swearing, you shouldn’t censor it! Stores don’t like censored metadata because it makes the titles inaccurate.

For example, if the Prodigy track “Funky Shit” was uploaded as “Funky S**t”, then the censored title would no longer be the actual title of the track.

The meaning of the censored word is also still obvious, so it can’t be considered as making the title non-explicit. Make sure you mark any audio uploaded through RouteNote which uses explicit language as explicit! If one track is explicit, the whole release will need to be labelled as explicit too, find out more here.
