Amazing Radio UK vs USA: Submission Guide
Amazing Radio UK and USA: where to start
By TAP Editorial Team
Quick answer
Amazing Radio UK and Amazing Radio USA are two stations within the same group. The company says uploaded tracks have an opportunity across its outlets. Start with the official upload route, then focus your pitch on the shows relevant to your release. A station play remains an editorial decision; the upload is the step that makes your track available for consideration.
Choose your next action by the release you’re promoting. Keep the UK and USA station names clear when you pitch and when you record a confirmed play.
Two stations, one group
Amazing’s official company page identifies UK and USA stations within the group. It describes the USA station and CMJ as focused on emerging North American artists.
Choose the market you can support
Start with the market where you have listeners, shows or existing Contacts. If there’s a US release plan, explain its relevant dates rather than calling a UK pitch international.
Listen before choosing a show
Listen to recent programmes on amazingradio.com and amazingradio.us. Note which shows suit this record, then check their published contact details. Make your pitch specific to the music they play.
Upload before emailing
Amazing Radio’s official contact instructions require an uploaded track for airplay consideration. Use the site’s Upload route and complete the track details before contacting the music team.
Use the uploaded track link
The official contact page lists [email protected] for music submissions. Include your uploaded-track link; it says direct MP3 or WAV email attachments aren’t accepted.
Check before duplicating an upload
The company says tracks uploaded through its UK or USA sites can feature across its outlets. Check your account’s current upload instructions before assuming you need a second copy.
Separate First Spin from station play
Amazing lists First Spin as a latest-releases stream alongside its two stations. Record the named stream or programme accurately, and keep a regular-station claim for a verified station play.
Make the pitch relevant
Name the song and give one reason it fits the programme. Add a confirmed release date or local show when relevant. Keep the listening link close to the request.
Keep a useful play record
Save the station, programme, date and track title when a play is confirmed. Add a replay or playlist link where available. Those details belong with your release Results.
Use evidence in the next pitch
Mention confirmed support in one accurate line when it helps the next contact. Avoid predicting streams or future coverage from a radio play. Keep following up with your existing Contacts.
Check the official sources
Use amazing.us/aboutus for the group’s UK and USA description. The current music-contact instructions are at api.amazingradio.com/feedback/contact. Check the live upload terms before adding more tracks.
Key takeaways
- Upload the track before approaching the music team.

Pro tips
1. Put the uploaded listening link in your release notes before drafting the email.
2. Use the same track title and artist name in the upload and pitch.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need two separate uploads?
The company describes opportunities across its outlets for tracks uploaded through either site. Check the current account instructions before duplicating the upload; two station names don’t establish two required submissions.
Can I email my audio file?
The official contact page asks you to upload and provide a link. It says direct MP3 and WAV email attachments aren’t accepted.
Which station should I pitch first?
Choose the programmes that fit your record and the market where you have activity to mention. A confirmed show or release date gives the pitch a specific reason now.
Does uploading guarantee regular airplay?
The official contact page describes consideration after upload. Confirm the named station or stream before recording a play, and keep promotion moving while the decision is pending.
Will a play increase my streams?
Measure the response to your own release rather than assuming a result. Record the play accurately, then check listening activity and replies over the relevant dates.
