Soundcloud has announced a few days ago their integration with Soundscan, that means Soundcloud’s ad-supported and subscription activity for monetized content will be reported to Nielsen\u2019s Music Connect dashboard, under the \u2018Other\u2019 category.<\/p>\n
That activity will count towards Billboards charts but key word here is that ONLY tracks identified for monetization will be included.<\/p>\n
Below is the message from Soundcloud.
