On chart campaigns the tracklist and the track count lock when pre-orders open, and you cannot add to the album afterward. You can still change the minimum price, but chart floors always apply, and the change goes through your EVEN team so the chart bodies are notified.
What locks
The tracklist and the track count lock. You cannot expand the album after purchase or release. Fans see the release date and tracklist from the moment pre-orders open, and both hold for the whole pre-order window. Treat the record as final before offers go live.
What can still move
The minimum price can still move. Chart floors apply underneath any change you make. Under applicable chart rules, US digital albums at $7.99 and up can be reported to Luminate, and UK chart-reported campaigns carry a £5.49 minimum. EVEN applies the right floor during setup so your pricing stays above the eligibility threshold, and a price change cannot take a campaign under it.
How to request a change
Raise the change in the shared thread with your EVEN team. They make the change and notify the chart bodies. The chart bodies need to hear about it, because a price change they are never told about puts your eligibility at risk.
What fans see
Fans see the release date and tracklist from the moment they pre-order, which is why the display locks. A fan can cancel a digital pre-order for a full refund any time before release day, setting aside any tracks that have already unlocked.
Plan storefront changes early
Storefront changes need lead time. If a campaign moves to a new storefront URL, that URL needs approval at least 14 days before offers go live. A storefront that is already approved and live carries no wait. Your EVEN team builds the calendar with you at kickoff, working back from street date.
