    Is there any website/company that can get your song into its store within a week or two?

    that's kind of an odd question

    I would assume that the BandCamp could do it.

    The rush is that it is a single sponsored by the charity org Plan and they need the song released by April 12th for the single launch party in Google HQ April 12th. I need a company who can sell the song securely on a professional site. I have an album on Tune Core and those guys took 7 weeks to get my album up, way too long.

    Try Zimbalam http://www.zimbalam.co.uk/

    They are a bit expensive but they are pretty fast.

    If you want fast - take this route.

    Approach a single portal (NOT A DISTRIBUTOR) - (lets say anyone apart from itunes as they take 1 month to 6 weeks to approve material) and tell them that it's for charity and a rush job - they maybe able to get you to the front of the cue for uploading.

    If you go via a distributor that deals with many portals they will probably just lump it in with the others and it can take at least a month to even get uploaded to the majority of portals.

    You could try iTunes, but would be a waste of time and a loss of income to the charity as the initial contract they send out isn't that fair.

    Hope that Helps!

    Unless you actually ring someone up and get a personal angle of the situation the usual is 1 month for uploads to portals to even start (in quiet times of the year)

    This company will upload material (i use these guys already, but the parent company) and here's what happens...

    You upload everything.... they submit it to the portals (once it's checked) - this can take 1 month to 6 weeks to appear on portals. And it's in the portals hands from that point onwards!

    Yep I know but sometimes they are a bit faster than that......

    another one that possibly everybody know it's:

    http://www.reverbnation.com/

    With the free account takes ages I don't know with the pay account if can be faster.

    Neurojazz did you ver try them?

    they have a good range of promo tools I would like try.

    dav nagle can you give us a feedback on the one that you decide to use?

    Might be a long shot. But if the charity organised the launch in Google HQ. Who ever arranged that might know...

    I am going to have a chat with Greg French see if he may be able to help. The singer on the track is a Google employee and Google are hosting the launch but it is Plan.ie who are promoting the single. Cheers for all the replies.
