From our (basic) understanding of how this works it seems to share a lot of similarities with Google’s pagerank algorithm. There’s no clear guidelines given by Soundcloud on how it ranks songs but there are snippets from around the web where we can see mentions of the ‘Discorank’ algorithm. While we imagine it’s nowhere near as complicated as a platform such as YouTube’s, Soundcloud does use an internal algorithm to help determine the popularity of tracks and also make the results to users queries more relevant. In this article we’re going to take an in depth look at the world of Soundcloud promotion – what are the rules, how you can make your music stand out, and some tips to help make your music go further. There’s a whole wave of artists who found success off the back of exposure on the platform, and there’s a whole range of channels and labels on the hunt for the latest sounds to share.

When it comes to getting your music heard, the power of Soundcloud can’t be underestimated.
