A Throwback to 2016

This #TBT, we’re throwing it back with six insights from your music sharing and listening activity throughout the year, to reveal new sounds and artists who rose to the top. From Chance the Rapper’s Coloring Book to some of the buzziest tags in 2016, such as #TRAPSOUL and #phonk – these findings prove creativity is stronger than ever on SoundCloud, and will only continue to thrive in 2017.

The following insights were compiled based on indicators and actions you’ve taken on SoundCloud including your streams, likes, reposts and shares. Because of you, our connected community of listeners, curators and creators, SoundCloud is constantly driving culture and creativity forward and creating new trends. In many cases, what’s “breaking” or “new” everywhere else, is born on SoundCloud.

Wishing you your most creative year yet. We can’t wait to see what 2017 brings.
