SoundCloud’s Music Intelligence Report

SoundCloud is pulling back the curtain and sharing its first ever Music Intelligence Report with the world.

This report reveals which artists and tracks are resonating with fans and helps to spot what genres, sounds, and scenes are next to break.

SoundCloud takes pride in the report as a powerful tool that uncovers the pulse of emerging trends, cultural movements, and seismic shifts in music.

By combining unique engagement data with cultural and music context, the report recognises when a niche sound is evolving.

One of its recent key findings is that a rising wave of young country and folk artists are currently gaining momentum on the platform.
