‍New upload flow

You’ve gotten playlisted 🎉

Every artist wants to get playlisted, it means their sound is resonating with real people and could reach more future fans. But in the past creators were never notified if their tracks were featured on a playlist. Thankfully we’ve changed that: now any artist featured on a SoundCloud Discovery playlist will receive an email letting them know and congratulating them.   

Other Updates…
