Remember when we used to get royalties from @TuneCore? Well, it seems like the delay in releasing royalties from social platforms like Meta since November 2024 and TikTok since December 2024 is still going on.
There is no justification for delay payment of our earnings.
@TuneCore we have always been aware of your fairness and transparency
For instance, Distrokid paid TikTok royalties for Feb 25, it implies that you also received them! However, you have yet to pay us for Dec 24!
@TuneCore No one has yet received their December earnings for TikTok and Meta, nor have they received any subsequent earnings after November 2024
Thank you for acknowledging this matter.
@updateRoyTune Hey! If you haven’t already, please send us a DM and you will be directly connected to our Artist Support team who will be happy to assist.
For comparison:
Distrokid just dropped TikTok royalties for February 2025
While TuneCore last month paid us TikTok royalties for November 2024!
Why this delay @TuneCore ?
We are in April 2025 and didn’t receive our earnings of Dec 2024
Hope you take this point into consideration
Why is @TuneCore Delaying Payments?
In comparison to Distrokid, Tunecore is significantly delayed in paying us.
A substantial portion of us relies on these payments.
Tunecore should acknowledge and address this point.
DM:
The rejection of releases without any discernible reason renders @TuneCore unsuitable for use
Its neither a copyright infringement nor an error in the audio or metadata
Could anyone elucidate the reasons behind this message from TuneCore?
What transpired with their services?
@TuneCore All users have not yet received their earnings for the past four months regarding the mentioned platforms!
This is an unexpected occurrence and we would greatly appreciate your attention to this matter.

The ongoing delay in royalty payments by @TuneCore is concerning, esp. for social platforms like Meta & TikTok. We are still awaiting payments for Dec. 2024, Jan, Feb, and March 2025
Distrokid released Jan payment in March, its much less delay compared to TuneCore’s 4 month delay
In addition to the delay in dropping royalties for the most platform, which was primarily monthly, @TuneCore takes longer to review submitted releases up to 5 days or more, even for pro subscribers
Previously, it took one day
The reason for this decline in service remains unclear
From DM:
Tunecore rejected my releases, even though I provided the formal license. My releases adhere to the terms and requirements.
I keep receiving this email titled “Important Information Regarding Your Release” which is frustrating!
My comment: @TuneCore, what happened?
