How TikTok’s SoundCloud Integration Benefits Songwriter Solution Members

The music industry is evolving rapidly, and platforms like TikTok are at the forefront of music discovery and promotion. With TikTok’s latest integration of SoundCloud into its “Add to Music” feature, Songwriter Solution members have an incredible opportunity to expand their reach, gain new followers, and connect with a global audience. Here’s how this game-changing update can benefit you as a member of Songwriter Solution.

What is TikTok’s “Add to Music” Feature?

TikTok’s “Add to Music” feature allows users to save songs they discover on TikTok directly to their favorite music streaming platforms. With the latest integration of SoundCloud, TikTok users can now seamlessly add tracks to their Liked Tracks playlist on SoundCloud. This new functionality is a win for emerging artists, as it bridges the gap between TikTok’s viral music trends and SoundCloud’s artist-first platform.

Why SoundCloud Matters for Songwriters

SoundCloud is unique among music streaming platforms because it gives independent artists the freedom to upload their tracks and share their creativity without the need for a record label. With over 400 million tracks and 40 million artists, SoundCloud is a hub for emerging talent and genres that aren’t available anywhere else.

For members of Songwriter Solution, SoundCloud is already a key tool for sharing music:

• Uploading Original Tracks: Members can upload their songs to reach a global audience.

• Curated Playlists: Songwriter Solution curates playlists that showcase members’ work, making it easier for listeners to discover their music.

Now, with TikTok integrating SoundCloud, the potential to grow your listenership has skyrocketed.

How the TikTok-SoundCloud Integration Benefits Songwriter Solution Members

1. Increased Music Discovery
   TikTok is the leading platform for music discovery, with 84% of songs reaching the Billboard 200 in 2024 gaining traction on TikTok first. By combining TikTok’s viral potential with SoundCloud’s vast music library, Songwriter Solution members can expose their songs to millions of users who are actively searching for new music.

2. Easy Access to New Fans
   TikTok users can now directly save your songs to their SoundCloud Liked Tracks playlist, turning casual listeners into loyal fans. This makes it easier to build lasting connections with your audience and amplify your reach.

3. Empowers Independent Artists
   Unlike Spotify or Apple Music, SoundCloud allows anyone to upload their tracks. This integration ensures that independent artists—like many of Songwriter Solution’s members—can compete on the same stage as major-label artists. TikTok trends will now drive traffic directly to your SoundCloud profile, increasing your chances of being discovered.

4. Leverage SoundCloud’s “Move to Music” Feature
   SoundCloud’s new “Move to Music” feature allows users to transfer their music libraries from other platforms. This could introduce new listeners to your tracks and help fans discover similar artists, creating more opportunities for your music to be heard.

5. Connect TikTok Trends to Songwriter Solution Playlists
   TikTok trends often dictate which songs go viral. With SoundCloud integration, members of Songwriter Solution can strategically add trending songs to curated playlists, increasing visibility for their own music while aligning with what’s popular on TikTok.

Why TikTok Matters for Music Promotion

TikTok is more than a social media platform—it’s a music discovery powerhouse:

• 74% of U.S. TikTok users are more likely to discover and share music on the app.

• The platform’s viral trends often dictate which songs gain mainstream success.

• Record labels have even started renaming songs to better align with TikTok trends.

By integrating with SoundCloud, TikTok is giving independent artists an even bigger stage to showcase their music and connect with fans.
