Frequently Asked Questions

Can you guarantee airplay?

No. And no one can.

All airplay decisions are made by individual radio presenters, based on what fits their shows. What Get Radio Airplay does is make your music available to the right people in radio — fairly, clearly, and without inflated promises.

Will my song be rejected if the quality isn't up to scratch?

Possibly — and that's why the Radio Ready Check exists.

If a track isn't suitable for radio (for technical, production, or suitability reasons), it may not perform well. The Radio Ready Check is an optional first step that provides honest feedback before submission, helping avoid disappointment and set expectations early.

Can I upload more than one song?

Yes — you can upload up to ten songs.

That said, most artists focus on one song at a time and pay for a single release on its own. Choosing your strongest current track keeps things clear for presenters, who can then see exactly which song you'd like them to consider rather than being faced with several at once.

Does my song have to be a new release?

No — but ideally, yes.

Radio presenters are generally more interested in current or recent releases. Older tracks can still be uploaded, but new music usually has a better chance of being considered for airplay.

How do I know if I'm choosing the right song to upload?

If you're unsure, the Radio Ready Check is designed to help with exactly this.

It offers an honest assessment of whether your track is suitable for radio consideration, helping you choose the strongest possible release before uploading.

I have an album to release and I'm not sure which songs would be best to release as singles or which tracks are best suited to radio airplay. Can the Radio Ready Check help with that?

Yes. You're welcome to submit any number of songs from your album for a Radio Ready Check to help you decide which tracks may be strongest for radio and most suitable to release as singles.

Do I have to be a member of a Performing Rights Organisation (PRS, PPL, etc.)?

No — membership of a Performing Rights Organisation is not required to upload your music to Get Radio Airplay.

However, joining a PRO is recommended if your music is played on radio, as this is how performance royalties are collected and paid. Get Radio Airplay doesn't handle royalties directly, but radio airplay may generate them depending on the broadcaster and territory.

Who will be able to access my music?

Independent radio presenters, stations and shows that actively support new and emerging artists.

Think of it like being in the press tent at a festival, surrounded by presenters eager to interview bands and support them on their shows — those are the kinds of people accessing the platform.

How will I know if my music is being played?

Without an independent airplay report, it can sometimes be difficult to track every play.

That said, many presenters will:

• mention artists on their radio show pages
• tag artists on social media
• or even contact artists directly to let them know their track is being played

If you choose the Independent Airplay Report option, you'll receive a summary of plays where reporting is available.

When and how will I get my Independent Airplay Report?

Around 30 days after your upload. This gives presenters the chance to access your music and play it on their shows. Get Radio Airplay will email you a PDF version of your report.

What genres does Get Radio Airplay support?

Get Radio Airplay accepts music from all genres. However, some genres are naturally more widely supported than others, which means airplay levels can vary depending on style, audience, and presenter interest.

Is Get Radio Airplay suitable for first-time releases?

Yes. It can be a great option for first-time releases, giving artists an affordable and straightforward way to start building radio support.
