What is SoundCloud Insights Dashboard?
The analytics area inside SoundCloud for Artists that shows plays, likes, reposts, comments, and audience data for a track or profile.
SoundCloud Insights Dashboard explained
The SoundCloud Insights dashboard, part of SoundCloud for Artists, is where artists review how their tracks and profile are performing. It reports plays, likes, reposts, comments, followers, and audience breakdowns by location and traffic source, and lets an artist compare tracks against each other over a chosen date range. Insights is separate from the public play count shown on a track page, since it can show more granular figures such as unique listeners and where traffic came from. Reviewing this dashboard regularly, rather than only glancing at total plays, is what lets an artist tell the difference between a track that is genuinely connecting with new listeners and one that is only being replayed by existing followers.
Why SoundCloud Insights Dashboard matters for independent artists
Understanding SoundCloud Insights Dashboard helps you make better promotion decisions on SoundCloud and other streaming platforms. On Reposter Network, artists apply concepts like this every day when they trade real plays, likes and reposts with other musicians instead of buying fake engagement.
