Sparta Distribution artists are able to request Official Artist Channels (OACs) on YouTube. For information about OACs, please review the following doc from YouTube's Help Center:
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7336634?hl=en
Below are the eligibility requirements to have an Official Artist Channel on YouTube:
- Own and operate a YouTube channel that represents one artist or band
- Have at least 3 official releases on YouTube delivered and distributed by a music distributor or label
- Have no policy violations on your channel
If you fulfill the above criteria and would like to request a new OAC, please share the following information with Sparta Support:
- Artist Name
- Label Name
- URL or Channel ID of Owned & Operated (O&O) channel
- URL or Channel ID of Artist's YouTube-generated Topic Channel
- URL or Channel ID of Artist's VEVO channel (if applicable)
- URL or video ID of Artist's Official Music Video
*** Please note that YouTube does not merge VEVO channels with an artist's official channel - only subscribers. There is also no timeline for fulfillment of these types of requests and it normally takes weeks to be confirmed.
