Takedown
Removing a release from stores and streaming.
Needed for sample problems, wrong metadata or an ended licence. Takedowns lose playlist positions and stream history, so fix metadata instead where possible.
Use this in your own career
audioglyph.io keeps your press kit, artist page, smart links, contacts, contracts and analytics together, so terms like takedown turn into decisions you can actually track.
