Over the past several years, Pandora has greatly expanded its music catalog through music distribution partnership integrations to now offer listeners music from over 10 million artists. Thanks to this catalog expansion and recent improvements to AMP’s artist claims process, only the following two steps are needed for an artist to stream on Pandora across all tiers of services (Pandora's ad-supported radio service, Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium).
Step 1 – Send Your Music to Pandora Through Distributors
Ensure that your music is being delivered to Pandora through one of the supported digital aggregators and licensing partners listed below with the following conditions:
- Pandora was selected when the release was distributed.
- U.S. streaming rights were granted to Pandora.

Our Creator support team will also ensure that your music is analyzed by Pandora’s Music Genome Project® team so that it can play on Pandora radio stations. After our analysts identify up to 450 musicological attributes to describe your tracks, fans will be able to immediately start a new station based on your artist name or one of your tracks, and the Music Genome Project will begin matching your music with similar artists and tracks on listeners’ stations.
Getting your artist’s music analyzed will also unlock the ability to use AMP’s Artist Audio Message and Featured Tracks promotional campaign tools. Claim your Pandora artist profile today to get started!
