An exclusive release is where Beatport is the only download store to sell the release during the exclusivity period (2/4/8 week + Lifetime).
We reserve the majority of the most prominent marketing space on our store for exclusive releases. Exclusive releases are highlighted with a tag and have a higher price point than non-exclusives.
By sending all the traffic to 1 place and being the only store to offer a release means it often charts considerably higher than non-exclusive releases, which may have sales split across multiple stores. High chart positions mean prolonged exposure and revenue for your release.
