The release is live.
Is it under control?

Distribution puts music online. Catalog control helps confirm that the right release sits on the right artist page with the right data and authorized team access.

Current work is limited to defined readiness reviews, release administration and data coordination. Legal advice and full royalty collection are not offered.

The Three-Light Catalog Status

This public diagnostic helps identify urgency. The complete platform checklist, control file, support procedures and remediation workflow remain part of a paid audit or guide.

GREEN · CONTROLLED

Claimed and correct

The page is claimed, the release is mapped correctly and the authorized team can manage or review it.

YELLOW · DISTRIBUTED ONLY

Live, but not verified

The music appears publicly, but management access, catalog mapping or complete data has not been confirmed.

RED · CATALOG PROBLEM

Correction required

The release is missing, duplicated, unavailable, mapped incorrectly or carrying material credit or metadata problems.

Delivery. Access. Credits.

Those three switches answer different questions. A distributor can deliver the record without giving the artist team portal access, and a polished profile biography cannot replace structured track-level credits.

Is the creation data complete?

Is the music simply live—or under control?

Answer six high-level questions about delivery, authorized access, mapping, identifiers, credits and issue tracking. The full platform checklist and correction workflow remain part of the paid catalog review.

Run the claim check ↗
01

Delivery

Confirm what the distributor delivered, where it was intended to appear and which release identifiers belong in the control record.

02

Access

Identify which artist-management portals are claimed, who has authorized access and where recovery or support may be required.

03

Mapping

Review whether the release appears on the intended artist pages without duplicate, missing or same-name catalog conflicts.

04

Credits & metadata

Organize titles, versions, songwriter, producer, performer, publisher, label and copyright information for review.

05

Issue tracking

Document correction requests, public URLs, dates, support references and the next follow-up action.

06

Publishing readiness

Identify missing split, writer, publisher, PRO or composition information before referral or authorized registration support.

What a defined review can cover

The exact scope depends on release count, platforms, ownership information and the condition of the existing records.

Start with one release—or a defined catalog.

Share the release type, number of recordings, distributor, known platform issues and desired outcome. Lipstick Diva will confirm whether a paid audit or release-administration engagement is an appropriate fit.
