Following growing demand, we built these filters to let you focus on only the content that interests you most. Users can now concentrate on discovery when browsing charts, playlists, and our artist chart!

Here is a table summarizing filter availability:

Use the artist's country filter to analyze charts or playlists by artist nationality. You can select several countries or a group of countries to focus on the nationalities you are interested in.

On Soundcharts, you build your own (personal and unique) blocklists.

The blocklists allow you to hide any artist, song, or label from the charts/playlists. Once triggered on a chart/playlist, they are hidden on any other chart/playlist!

Chart and playlist new entry notifications can account for these blocklists - so you won't receive new entries matching these.

1. Go to the charts or playlist section.

2. Select the blocklists.

3. Pick which blocklists you'd like to use between songs, artists, and labels.

4. You can see the little eye close to the name of artists, songs, and labels. By clicking on it, you can decide to hide the artists, songs, or labels that are not of your interest.

You need to click on All blocklists to display the charts' lines.

To add back an artist/label/song you hid in the past, click on the eye again. The item will be readded to your dashboard the next time you look at a chart/playlist.

Blocklists are also available in our API!

With Label Types, you can now see if a song is released by a major, an indie, or a self-released artist. You can use the Label Types filter with other available filters and blocklists to hide songs that do not match your criteria, leaving you with only the desired songs in view. Also, you can search for a specific label to see all its releases in a particular chart or playlist.

1. Go to the charts or playlist section.

2. Select Label types

3. Choose which label type you want to focus on

4. Search for a particular label among the remaining songs

Use the song genres filter to analyze charts and playlists by song genres. You can select one or several genres to focus on the ones you are interested in.

Use the release date filter in the song charts and playlists to focus on the recency of the song (last 6 months, last 12 months, last 18 months, and so on).

For example, choose the last 6 months to zoom in on the latest releases.

Use the artist genre filter to analyze the artist chart by artist's music genre. You can select several genres at the same time.

Use the favorites filter in charts, playlists, and the artist chart to quickly access performances of your entire roster at a glance.

Use audience metrics filters in the artist chart to zoom in on a specific range of artists' performances (total value or percentage of change).

Examples of audience metrics: Spotify followers, Spotify monthly listeners, Instagram and TikTok followers, YouTube subscribers, and so on.

A&Rs and A&R scouts use these to search for artists with specific nationalities to sign; they also use the blocklists to hide the most prominent artists or the artists they know they will not sign to see only new artists in these charts and playlists.

Curators can track a specific genre and, thanks to the filter by release date, be updated on the latest trend, improving their playlists' popularity.

With these custom filters, you can avoid overwhelming data and focus on what truly matters to you. 💎
