Music distributor finder
Paste a Spotify or TikTok link to see the song’s distributor, record label, ℗ line, ISRC, UPC, credits and 30 days of streams.
Lookups run on ANTHM Pulse. ANTHM is invite-only right now; pasting a link takes you to request access.
Example lookups
Three real releases. Each shows a different gap between what the label field says and who actually delivered the song.
Drake, Wizkid, Kyla
Major label. The label line names the imprints and the distributor is the parent group.
PARTYNEXTDOOR
Label services. The label line says OVO Sound; the distributor is The Orchard.
Fixupboy
Self-released. The label line is a name the artist chose, so it says nothing about the distributor.

How it works
A Spotify track or album link, or a TikTok video or sound link.
Pulse reads the release metadata the stores publish and matches TikTok sounds back to their song.
The distributor, label line, ISRC, UPC, credits and 30 days of streams, on one screen.
What a lookup shows
Everything the stores publish about a release, in one place, for any song on Spotify or TikTok.
The company that delivered the release to Spotify and the other stores.
The label name on the release and the full ℗ and © lines, including any “under exclusive license to” wording.
The recording code and the release barcode, with the registrant and the company prefix behind them.
Writers, producers and performers listed on the track.
Daily Spotify streams for the last 30 days, the release date and when the track was uploaded.
For a TikTok link: the song the sound uses, how many posts use it, and the other sounds of the same song.
The label field on a release is whatever the uploader typed. Self-released artists put their own name there. Signed artists show an imprint. The company that delivered the song is a separate fact, and it’s the one that tells you who you’re dealing with.
Who uses it
Check whether a rising artist is self-released or already signed before you reach out.
See which distributors artists in your genre use before you pick one.
Confirm who controls a release when a client’s catalog is spread across companies.

Common questions
Distributor Finder shows which distributor released a song. Paste a Spotify or TikTok link and you get the distributor, the label line, the ISRC and UPC, the credits and 30 days of streams. Lookups run on ANTHM Pulse.
Paste the song’s Spotify or TikTok link into Pulse. To check by hand, open the track’s credits on Spotify and look at the source, then compare the ℗ line, the ISRC registrant code and the UPC prefix. Our step-by-step guide covers each method.
The label field is whatever the uploader typed. Self-released artists often put their own name or a made-up label there, and signed artists show their imprint, not the company that delivered the files. The distributor is a separate fact.
It shows the facts you need to judge it: the distributor, the label line and any “under exclusive license to” wording in the ℗ line. A release through a self-serve distributor with the artist’s own name on the label line is usually self-released. See how to tell if an artist is signed.
Any distributor named in the release data the stores publish, including DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, UnitedMasters, Amuse, Ditto, Symphonic, The Orchard, AWAL, Believe, EMPIRE and the three major groups. See the distributor directory.
