What is the difference between a single, an EP, an album or an extended album?

The answer’s in the track number 🧠

Singles are 1 track , EPs are 2 – 6 tracks, Albums are 7 – 18 tracks, and Extended (EXTD) albums are 19 tracks or more. There’s no set definition for singles, EPs, albums and extended albums. Lengths vary between stores and distributors. We choose our definitions to favour most stores.

If you are going ahead with premium distribution, each release type has a different initial payment – the annual subscription fees however are exactly the same regardless of the number of tracks within your release. Click here for more information on free and premium distribution.
