TikTok offers you the possibility to change your normal account into an artist account, which has several advantages:

You can activate your MusicTab - this used to be displayed as a note symbol on the profiles, now it says "Music" as a heading above it.

You can pin new songs at the top of the list - this has the advantage that users quickly become aware of your new songs.

If you deliver a new track via your digital distributor, TikTok will mark it as "New".
