TikTok has announced that its music distribution arm, SoundOn, will distribute Daddy Yankee's album La Postal. The announcement came on November 10, 2026, and TikTok calls it SoundOn's biggest artist partnership to date, according to Music Business Worldwide.

Distribution means getting a record to streaming services and stores on an artist's behalf. SoundOn is providing global distribution, artist services and promotion for the album. La Postal is a 15-track record that came out on October 30 through Daddy Yankee's own label, DY Records.

The album features Cardi B, Myke Towers, Danny Ocean, Bizarrap and Diljit Dosanjh. Its lead single is BOTZ (Bésame Otra Vez), which translates roughly as "kiss me again."

The marketing push is built around TikTok itself. The app has created an in-app La Postal experience in which fans can unlock a La Postal profile frame, a decorative border for their profile picture, by completing tasks. TikTok is also running a global campaign for the album that includes a billboard in Times Square, New York.

Daddy Yankee has a community of nearly 20 million followers on TikTok. That following is a large part of why a platform-run campaign is possible at this scale. Fans who unlock the frame are, in effect, taking part in the rollout.

SoundOn is a fairly young part of the business. TikTok launched it in 2022 to help new and undiscovered artists reach listeners. Over time it has also worked with better-known names. Alan Walker chose SoundOn to release his fifth studio album, Walkerworld 2.0, in January 2025. In February 2023, Snoop Dogg and Death Row Records brought the label's catalogue to TikTok through SoundOn, ahead of its wider return to streaming services.

For a general listener, the practical question is simple: where to find the album. Those answers come from the streaming services and retailers that SoundOn is supplying, and from the in-app features TikTok has set up. Anyone who wants to follow the album's rollout can look for the BOTZ single and the La Postal frame on the app.

The deal is a reminder that the way music reaches people now runs through apps as well as record shops. A short video, a profile border and a billboard can all sit inside the same campaign. For the artist, the question is how many of those fans will move from the app to the album itself.
