Artists should promptly update their pages with high-resolution images, including a 3000 x 1200 transparent logo and correctly attached releases linked to accurate artist IDs, while ensuring button colors are appropriate.

Spotlight lets artists pin a release or content (album, music video, artist playlist, or Apple Music Radio content) to the top of their page for up to 18 months, but only for releases where the artist is the primary creator.

Apple Music on iOS 27 brings heavily redesigned, more customizable artist pages that put branding control in artists’ hands to better showcase identity and music.

Concert information can now appear on artist pages, helping fans discover nearby shows and current tours.

New features include uploading a transparent artist logo, selecting custom colours for Info, Play, and Favorite buttons, pinning Spotlight content at the top, updating the main artist image, and managing profile details.

Page design emphasizes the main artist image and bold color accents, featuring music in a prominent top section to resemble an artist landing page rather than a simple catalog.

Customization controls are accessed via Apple Music for Artists (web): go to Artist Page to manage image, logo, button colours, and Spotlight content, with logo review taking up to five business days.

Labels and distributors can manage artist branding on behalf of artists through Apple Music Connect, aiding branding across multiple priority artists and catalogues.

These changes give artists greater control over presentation and branding consistency across platforms, potentially improving discoverability and fan engagement as pages resemble mini-artist websites.

Album or release artwork remains separate from artist pages, requiring square images at least 4000 x 4000 pixels in JPG, PNG, or GIF formats.

Dedicated artist logos are text-based name treatments on a transparent background, recommended at 3000 x 1200 pixels with a safe area of 2880 x 960, and should avoid logos that include album art, social handles, or competing brands.

Artist images should be high-quality, with a recommended size of 2400 x 2400 pixels or larger (minimum 800 x 800) to ensure quality across Apple ecosystems.
