SoundCloud takes on Spotify’s Discover Weekly feature with new ‘Buzzing Playlists’


SoundCloud has launched a new set of playlists under the "Buzzing Playlists" moniker to highlight up-and-coming tracks from artists.

There are playlists for Pop, Hip Hop, R&B, and Electronic music, and they feature tracks from artists who are part of SoundCloud’s Next Pro paid subscription program. Last year, the company launched a First Fans program that suggests new tracks to people in autoplay mode to help artists reach their first 100 listeners with a new release. The company said it used machine learning to match people’s music tastes to a song’s profile, and the top tracks from this experiment are suggested to 1,000 users.
