- **Q:** How long do recording agreements typically last?
  **A:** Recording agreements vary significantly. Major label deals typically run 5-7 albums or 3-7 years. Independent label deals are often 1-3 albums or 1-3 years. Most include option periods the label can exercise for additional albums. Understanding your option structure is critical for planning.
