Verification — public rules
Automatic
- Post the code to your registered official YouTube channel's description — verified instantly.
- An unregistered channel also passes automatically if its name matches or its videos are already linked to that artist.
- A code on your official homepage's front page is confirmed automatically.
When a person reviews it
| V1 | The code is on an already-known official place (Wikipedia, the official website, etc.) |
| V2 | The code is on the label's official place, and that label is confirmed as this artist's |
| N1 | No code found |
| N2 | Can't confirm the place belongs to this artist |
| N3 | Couldn't establish this is unrelated to an already-verified account |
| N4 | When unclear, it's rejected |
Review takes up to 14 days; unconfirmed requests close automatically after that.
Verification has no effect on rankings, titles or records.
