🌎 Artist Country
Use the artist's country filter to analyze artists/charts/playlists/songs by artist nationality. You can select several countries or a group of countries to focus on the nationalities you are interested in.
🚫 Blocklists
On Soundcharts, you can build your own (personal and unique) blocklists. They allow you to hide any artist, song, or label from the chart/song/artist rankings and playlists. Once activated, they are hidden across the entire platform (but remain visible in the search bar).
Chart and playlist new entry notifications can account for these blocklists - so you won't receive new entries matching these.
How to use
Select the Blocklists filter.
Pick which blocklists you'd like to use between songs, artists, and labels. You need to click on All blocklists to display the charts' lines.
By clicking on the small eye icon next to the artists, songs, or labels' names, you can choose to hide those that do not interest you.
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.
You can also manage your Blocklists in your User settings. To delete those you wish to see reappear, click on the trash icon, then select "remove".
Blocklists are also available in our API!
📊 Label Types
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.
How to use
Go to the chart/song ranking or on a playlist.
Select the Label types filter.
Choose which label type you want to focus on.
Search for a particular label.
👩🎤 Artist Genres
Use the Artist genre filter to analyze the artist chart by artist's music genre. You can select several genres at the same time. Note that this filter is only available in the artist ranking.
🎤 Song Genres
Use the Song genres filter to analyze the chart/song rankings and playlists by song genres. You can select one or several genres to focus on those that interest you.
Note that a Sub genres filter is also available in the artist and song rankings.
📻 Radio Genres
Use the Radio genres filter to analyze the radio ranking by genres. You can select one or several genres to focus on those that interest you.
📻 Radio Track Age
You can also sort the radio ranking using the Track age filter:
The Track age of a radio is determined by the release dates of the songs aired over the last 7 days. It is qualified as:
“frontline” if over 75% of the tracks were released less than 18 months ago;
“catalog” if less than 25% of the tracks were released more than 18 months ago;
or “mixed” if neither condition applies.
📆 Release Date
Use the Release date filter on the chart/song rankings or playlists to focus on the song's recency (last 6 months, last 12 months, last 18 months, and so on).
For example, select "last 6 months" to zoom in on the latest releases:
❤️ Favorites
Use the Favorites filter on the chart/song/artist rankings or on playlists to quickly access performances of your entire roster at a glance.
📢 Audience filters
Use audience metrics filters in the artist ranking to zoom in on a specific range of artists' performances (total value or percentage of change). Note that those are only available in the artist chart.
Examples of audience metrics: Spotify followers, Spotify monthly listeners, Instagram and TikTok followers, YouTube subscribers, and so on.

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