In your artist dashboard, each submitted song has a status that shows where it is in the Thematic process. Here’s what each status means:

  • Pending:
    We’ve received your song submission, and it’s waiting to move to the next step.

  • Community Review:
    Your song is being evaluated by Thematic’s creator community. Creators listen to your track and decide if they want to feature it in their videos.

  • Approved:
    Your song has passed the community review and rights check. We’re now preparing it to go live on Thematic.

  • Not A Fit:
    Your song was not approved for release on Thematic. This can happen if rights cannot be fully cleared or if the community didn’t express enough interest during review.

  • Live:
    Your song is now live and discoverable by creators on Thematic. They can start featuring it in their videos in exchange for promotion.

  • Paused:
    Your song is temporarily on hold due to a rights issue that needs to be resolved. Please contact artists@hellothematic.com for assistance.
  • Expired:
    Your song’s promotional campaign has ended. It is no longer available for new video placements on Thematic.
