Buzzing Playlists is a brand new series of fan-powered, specific genre playlists featuring music based on real fan engagement. They are updated weekly. The playlists come directly from Next Pro artists who’ve opted to have their songs reviewed by First Fans. They aim to introduce the artists to a wider audience, allowing them to be heard by new followers.
Buzzing Playlists will highlight the latest music of the excellent new and emerging Next Pro artists in Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B, and Electronic music. For Next Pro artists, it’s an opportunity to showcase their desirable new tracks and meet potential supporters. For listeners, it’s a chance to find out what tracks and artists other people in their own community are taking notice of.
How Buzzing Playlists Work
SoundCloud Next Pro artists upload new tracks and then opt-in to be analyzed through First Fans, our recommendation algorithm.
First, Fans analyze the uploads and then recommend them to up to 100 listeners based on their prior listening habits.
Ultimately, the best tracks will be recommended to up to 1000 people.
The most successful tracks from those suggested—those that people are most engaged with (likes and comments, reposts, replays, and playlists)—can be included in a Buzzing playlist.
What exactly is the SoundCloud Buzzing Playlist, and how can I get on it?
