When migrating your catalog, don't change these fields until after your migration completes. Keep them as is to ensure your new release merges with your old release and maintains stream counts, playlist placements, etc.

Verifying Track Linking on Spotify

Search for your catalog. You'll find 2 copies of each release: the old one and the new one distributed by Hitskope. Use the toggle at the bottom of the track length column to switch between release instances.
For each track, check its play count. If the play count matches between old and new versions, your tracks linked successfully. Issue a takedown for your release from your previous distributor.
If the tracks don't have the same play count, let us know which ISRCs or Spotify track URIs are affected.
If you have too many tracks to check individually, focus on your top performing tracks. Spotify doesn't provide an easier verification method.
