SoundCloud introduces a brand new “Buzzing Playlists, which will showcase new and upcoming tracks based on an amalgamation of machine learning and genuine fan engagement perhaps even battling Spotify’s “Discover Weekly’ playlists too.
SoundCloud has takenits place on Spotify’s “Discover Weekly” by offering its collection of playlists “based on real fan engagement,” showcasing up-and-coming tracks that include hip-hop, pop, R&B, and electronic music.
The playlist features tracks of artists who belong to SoundCloud’s Next Pro paid subscription program and have signed up to have their tracks reviewed through SoundCloud’s First Fans program. Buzzing playlists are updated and curated weekly with signals such as repeat playbacks, playlist additions, likes, comments, and reposts.

How do Buzzing playlists work?
SoundCloud Next Pro artists upload their latest tracks and choose to be analyzed through First Fans, our recommendation algorithm.
First, fans will review these uploads and recommend them to 100 listeners according to their previous listening habits.
Then, the best tracks will be recommended to up to 1000 people.
A Buzzing playlist can include the most successful tracks from the recommended ones – the ones with which listeners interact the most (likes and comments, reposts, replays, and playlists).
What is the relationship between Buzzing Playlist and in comparison to Discover Weekly on Spotify?
Both SoundCloud Buzzing Playlists and Spotify Discover Weekly attempt to assist listeners in discovering new music. But they operate in different ways.
A Buzzing Playlist for Users: You can listen to the music playlist on SoundCloud that’s updated every week and includes tracks that are added to it by Next Pro artists depending on their actual track engagement metrics, including the number of repetitions or playlist updates, comments, likes, or even re-share. The playlists helped artists reach the first 100 people to listen with the release of a new album, along with many of the most popular songs from the experiment that have been recommended to 1,000 users likely to hear.
Discover Weekly: It’s the name of a playlist personalized to run each Monday, featuring 30 tracks that the listeners have never had the chance to listen to to their musical preferences. The system combines collaboration-based filtering, material-based filters, and machine learning. It also includes the extraction of audio features to suggest music to users.
