Hey @TCOE  - Thanks for surfacing this! 

It looks like your music is available for on-demand listening but is not on our radio service yet. Before you and your fans can create a station based off of your music or add it as Variety, our Curation team need to prepare it for radio playback. 

When we analyze a song, we qualify the musicological components of the song. Based on this data, the matching algorithm will create a station populated with artists with similar data. This algorithm is a cornerstone of the Variety feature.

We ask that you please allow for a few weeks for your music to be available on radio. 

If you are still unable to add your music as Variety after a few weeks, please send us an email at amp-support@pandora.com ✌️

I have that same problem with another band called on the drop. When I add them to variety or any of their songs all I get is an error message, super annoying

Hey @-_-1 - I appreciate you bringing this up. I have shared on the drop's music with our Curation team so they can get it on radio too. Give it a little time but you'll be able to add it as Variety as well.
