Music publishing question on U.S.Copyright Office.

I was going to register my 2 albums on U.S.Copyright Office and found there are some options and it makes me confused.

1) Register a certain group of published work
It says that my songs/albums must be published.

2) Register a group of unpublished work
It says that all the works must be unpublished.

The thing is that I distributed my songs by Amuse and registered them to BMI. So, I'm wondering if it is published or not. I googled it and found the list of music publishers. Amuse and BMI are not on the list.
My question is, which option should I pick in this case?
 
Published means in this context, material already out there and available, or not - as in you still have them and have not put them out there anywhere. If you distributed them your self or via a third party, then they’re published.

Thanks. Then I should pick the number 1. Right?
