# Ensure track linking

### **Maintaining Playlist Inclusions, Stream Counts & Chart History**

{% hint style="info" %}
**DSPs That Will Not Maintain Play Counts:** Unfortunately, the following DSPs will **not** maintain play counts

* **iHeartRadio**
* **iMusica**
* **KKBOX**
* **Nuuday**
* **YouTube Music**
  {% endhint %}

**How to Confirm Tracks Have Linked on Spotify:**

1. **Search for your catalog** on Spotify: You should find **2 copies** of each release (the old one and the new one distributed by us).
   * **Tip**: Use the **toggle at the bottom** of the track length column to switch between the various release instances.

2. For each track, **check its play count**:

* If the play count is the **same** for both the old and new versions, then **your tracks have successfully linked**! You can proceed to issue a **takedown** for your release from your previous distributor.
  * **Important**: If your previous distributor was using Revelator to deliver their catalog, **do NOT issue a takedown**. Please **contact us** instead.
* If the tracks do **not** have the same play count, please let us know which **ISRCs** or **Spotify track URIs** this is happening for.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Too Many Tracks to Check Individually?** If you have too many tracks to check one by one, we advise that you **only look at the top-performing tracks**. Unfortunately, Spotify does **NOT** provide an easier method to ensure that your new tracks have linked to the old ones to preserve their history
