Official Artist Channel sections

Official Artist Channels offer you new options for your channel layout. In addition to standard channel sections, you can include the following sections on your Official Artist Channel:

Featured video

You can choose which video you want to show at the top of your Official Artist Channel – even if it's not a video that you've uploaded. Choose different videos for new visitors and returning subscribers.

Releases

The Releases section is an auto-generated section that encompasses all of your releases. This section makes it easier for your viewers to find your music quicker.

Releases are generally ordered in this way:

  1. The most recent release (album, single or EP)
  2. Full-length albums
  3. EPs
  4. Singles from newest to oldest release dates

If your release has multiple versions, only one version will be featured and it will only show releases for which you are listed as a primary artist. Karaoke releases will not appear on your Releases tab.

Music videos

The Music videos section is an auto-generated section that aggregates your official music video content from across all of your YouTube channels. These videos are organised by:

  • Upload date
  • Popularity

Popular sounds from Shorts

The Popular Sounds from Shorts section highlights up to eight of your most popular songs used in Shorts within a seven-day period. Fans can pivot from this shelf to the sound in Shorts, where they can view Shorts that remix the sound or create Shorts featuring your song.

Videos

The Videos section automatically pulls all of your most recent video content from the Videos tab on your Official Artist Channel.

Customisable sections

Below the auto-generated 'Music videos', 'Releases' and 'Popular Sounds from Shorts' sections, you can add additional shelves of playlists and channels that you've curated.

FAQ

How do I update my artist image?

To update your artist image, please request an Official Artist Channel (OAC) through your label/distributor. Once your OAC is active, you can update your image directly in YouTube Studio.

Can I edit the 'Popular Sounds from Shorts' section?

Popular Sounds from Shorts are auto-generated and ranked based on the number of times that the song has been used in Shorts over the past seven days, so you can't edit the songs that appear within the shelf.

You can remove, reorder or re-add this shelf within the Customisation section of YouTube Studio.
