Multiple versions, same ISRC, how can I control which version will appear in "Popular"?

[dmilesburton]

I released 3 versions of the same song. They all have the same ISRC, since the song is the same, but small things have changed, like adding a vocal delay or a new master.

How can I control which version will appear in my "Popular" section on my artist profile? Is there a way to do this? Currently it is the first version, which is not the one I want featured.

Thanks for any answers. If it's not possible, then please consider this a feature request.

Hi mate. 

This is the thing: ISRC stands for International Sound Recording Code. It's not a code for an individual SONG, but a code for an individual SOUND RECORDING of a song.

That means, if the sound recording is different (like you said, a different delay or a different master), then they are no longer the same sound recordings, therefore should not have the same ISRC.

But sometimes the changes are too minor to gain traction as a new song so one might just want the streams equal across the versions

If a song have multiple versions and have the same ISRC code, when streaming will all versions combine as in give double/triple etc streams opposite if it was only 1 version of the song?

Remember the ISRC is like a sound recording’s Social Security Number (SSN). Even with small differences, even identical twins have different SSN’s. You will make the same amount of money whether you have multiple ISRC’s or not, but because you release multiple versions anyway, your chances of making more money increases.

Is it illegal
