From our earliest days, SoundCloud has been the place to support artists by leaving real-time feedback, DMing your favorite artists, and connecting with fans who love the same music you do. That social spirit has always set us apart, and now, it’s becoming even more central to how you experience SoundCloud.
Today, we’re rolling out a new wave of Social Discovery features that bring your taste, your community, and your next favorite track directly to the surface. These updates build on our long-standing social DNA and will now be more visible right from your homepage, making SoundCloud more interactive, connected, and community-driven than ever before. With SoundCloud, fans don’t just listen to music, they shape it.
What’s New on SoundCloud:
Hot For You*
A daily personalized track of the day module that serves you one fresh track blowing up on SoundCloud, curated to your unique taste. Blending what’s being most shared, most liked, and aligned with your personal taste - It’s a unique, serendipitous way to uncover your next favorite song. Find the next big thing or that hidden gem faster.
Liked By Playlists**
Two new ways to turn taste into discovery:
- Liked By Your Crew: An auto-generated track list that brings together all the tracks your friends and favorite artists are liking, updated daily. Spotlighted right on your homepage, it reflects the collective sound of the SoundClouders you follow — a snapshot of what’s making waves in your community in one place.
- Liked By Playlists: A scrollable carousel of playlists built from the likes of individual friends or artists you follow. Dive deeper into the music each person is loving and explore their taste in real time.
Trending Trackwall**
A visual, feed-like tracklist of what’s rising on SoundCloud, filterable by what’s most relevant to you. Instead of digging through endless playlists, instantly see what’s trending across your scene, your community, and the wider platform. These are the tracks that we think are about to hit the mainstream, so you’re always ahead of the curve.
Suggested Follows*
Recommends fans, artists, and tastemakers whose music taste we think you’ll love — or people we believe you may already know. This new module appears as a carousel right on your homepage, making it easier than ever to grow your music community.
A Fan Journey, Full Circle
On SoundCloud, every interaction matters. What you like, repost, or react to doesn’t just stop with you — it ripples out across the platform, shaping playlists, fueling discovery, and helping tracks rise. A song you love today could surface in a friend’s feed tomorrow, spread across your scene, and ultimately land you in your new favorite artist’s Top Fans.
From that first listen to becoming one of an artist’s most dedicated supporters, SoundCloud makes fandom visible and impactful, turning everyday listeners into tastemakers who shape the music that breaks.
What’s Next
This is just the beginning. Fans and artists can expect even more social discovery features designed to deepen connections, celebrate taste, and shape what’s next in music.
