Music says a lot about your personality, mood, and memories, and SoundCloud makes it easy to discover trending, new tracks that match your taste. Whether you desire to revisit your favorite songs, analyze your listening habits, or explore trending tracks from artists all around the world, SoundCloud offers several built-in tools to help.
In this guide, we show you how to see your most played songs on SoundCloud as both a listener and an artist, discover extra tracking methods with Last.fm, explore trending charts, and even save your favorite tracks forever for offline listening.
Part 1. How to See Your Personal SoundCloud Top Songs
SoundCloud is not a traditional streaming service. It allows listeners and artists to interact. So, in this part, both listeners and artists can find a way to see the most-played music.
For Listeners
To see your personal top played songs on SoundCloud in 2026, you can go to the "Your Playback" Playlist, which displays your top tracks for the year. There is also a prerequisite: you need to listen to at least 30 tracks and 10 artists. For daily, recent data, you can check your "Listening History".
SoundCloud "Your Playback" (On Mobile & Desktop)
01Navigate to SoundCloud on your phone or desktop.
02Log in to SoundCloud with your account.
03Navigate to Home on the main screen.
04Scroll through the page to look for the "Your Playback" playlist. Or directly go to: https://soundcloud.com/discover/sets/your-playback.
05Select the heart icon to save the playlist to your library for future listening.
SoundCloud Listening History (On Mobile & Desktop)
01Navigate to SoundCloud with your account.
02Click or tap Library at the top or bottom.
03Select History to see your recently played tracks.
04Use the Filter in the top right corner of the History section to search for your favorite tracks or artists to play. Now enjoy the tracks!
For Artists
If you are an artist, you can use the "Insights" tab to see the most played songs. This offers a detailed breakdown of analytics. You can use the dashboard to sort tracks by total plays, see top-performing content over various timeframes, and analyze listener engagement.
On Desktop
01Open a modern browser you prefer (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.)
02Navigate to the SoundCloud website and sign in.
03Click on the profile picture in the top right corner and choose "You Insights".
04The dashboard defaults to showing your top tracks by plays. Use the dropdown menu to filter by specific timeframe: Past Day, Week, Month, or Year.
05To learn which tracks are performing best, you can toggle between Plays, Likes, Comments, Reposts, and Downloads in the upper left corner.
06Click a specific song name to see the details of that track (listeners, traffic sources, etc.).
On Mobile
01Open SoundCloud on your mobile phone.
02Sign in and navigate to the profile picture.
03Go to Library or Artist Home.
04Select Your Insights to view your top-performing songs.
Part 2. Extra Way to Track and Analyze Your SoundCloud Most Played Songs
If you want to see your most played songs all year long, the best way is to connect your SoundCloud account to Last.fm. Last.fm operates in the background and automatically tracks every song you listen to on the SoundCloud desktop website. You will get detailed charts of your daily, weekly, and yearly listening habits.
Use Last.fm to Scrobble SoundCloud
01Visit Last.fm on your website and log in (create an account if you don't have one).
02Add the Web Scrobbler browser extension (Chrome/Firefox/Edge/Safari).
03Navigate to SoundCloud in your browser, play a song, and click the extension icon to connect it to your Last.fm account.
04If you use a mobile to scrobble, Android users can also use the official Last.fm app.
05iOS users use the VOX music player app. VOX music player app supports streaming SoundCloud and scrobbling to Last.fm.
06Listen to your music on SoundCloud, and the extension or app begins to scrobble the plays to your Last.fm.
07To view the top songs on Last.fm, select Library > Tracks, and you can filter by time period, such as last 30 days.
Part 3. How to Explore SoundCloud's Top Songs
If you want to explore the top tracks on SoundCloud, you can use the SoundCloud Charts to find trending music by genre. Another option is to use Discover for personalized recommendations based on your listening habits. Also, you can find out hits through "The Lookout" playlist.
Explore SoundCloud Chart
You can explore SoundCloud charts on both desktop and mobile to figure out the top-50 tracks by genre or overall, as well as new, rising music.
01Go to the SoundCloud homepage and select "Charts" in the top navigation bar, or directly go to https://soundcloud.com/charts/new. (Mobile users tap the Search icon> Charts.)
