Not approval, but registration confirmation (in USA). However, the day the registration is submitted determines the date of registration.
I see you're from Croatia. One of my Creepy Christmas songs was licensed to a large newspaper there. I've tried to find out what they used the track for, but no answer from the newspaper.

People often turn more to entertainment when the going gets tough. It's a universal remedy that reduces anxiety & depression.

Copyrights in sound recordings are always registered on Copyright Form SR. Copyrights in songs are usually filed on Copyright Form PA. However, if you are the copyright owner of both the song and the sound recording of that song, you can use Copyright Form SR to register both elements together. By registering the song and sound recording together, you will pay one filing fee instead of two.

Yes, you can copyright the 11 songs as a compilation. For instance, list all 11 songs and then add "contained in" whatever title you're using for the CD.
