For the first time, Audiomack listeners can see a year-end breakdown of their music habits with In Rotation, a personalized recap of their top songs, artists, albums and playlists of 2025. The feature gives fans a clear, easy-to-play view of the music that defined their year, from the rising genres they lived in to the new discoveries they kept coming back to.
Alongside individual stats, Audiomack is also releasing its annual Curator Best of the Year Playlists with selections handpicked by Audiomack’s editorial team. Curated by humans with deep ties to their global scenes, these playlists highlight the tracks that shaped the year on Audiomack, championing emerging artists and regional scenes that go overlooked on mainstream platforms.
“You’re not going to see the same five superstars over and over,” explains David Ponte, Co-founder and CMO of Audiomack. “Our audience is younger, more international, and hail from communities that major streaming apps often overlook. That difference in listening is what makes In Rotation and our Best of the Year playlists special.”
Audiomack consistently tops the music app charts in dozens of countries, including 17 across Africa, and has built deep connections with these scenes driving the future of music. This global footprint is reflected in In Rotation, where genres like Afrosounds, dancehall, and hip-hop dominate users’ most-streamed lists.
Discovery is central to Audiomack, led by human curation and a community of users who actively search for new sounds. “One of In Rotation’s standout stats is unique artists played,” Ponte added. “For our users, that’s a flex. It means they aren’t just hitting repeat on the same hits, but exploring and finding new artists and sounds.”
In Rotation gives Audiomack users what they’ve been asking for, and further solidifies the app as a global platform for discovery.

New York, New York – Soundcharts, the music industry data analytics platform known for illuminating global music growth, and Audiomack, the artist-first music streaming and discovery platform, today announced a partnership to highlight visibility into African streaming data and music trends.
The partnership integrates Audiomack playlists and Geo Charts into the Soundcharts database, offering deeper insight into African listening habits across the continent and among diaspora audiences in Europe and North America. While Audiomack’s stream and follower data have long been part of global datasets, this marks the first time its playlists are being captured at scale, including its Weekly 100 Geo Charts, which rank the top songs in every U.S. state, and nearly every country worldwide.
Through this integration, Audiomack’s rising artists now stand alongside more than 15 million creators and 85 million songs within the Soundcharts ecosystem, which aggregates data from more than 7 million playlists, 2,400 radio stations, and 26,000 global charts, providing a more complete and inclusive view of global music consumption.
“Integrating Audiomack’s data helps Soundcharts deliver a truly global view of the music industry, filling long-standing gaps in how African music consumption is represented,” said David Wieszfeld, Soundcharts Founder and CEO. “This addition brings visibility to one of the world’s fastest-growing music regions and empowers artists and professionals to better understand and act on emerging demand.”
“When artists share their music on Audiomack, their goal is to reach new listeners and grow their audience,” said David Ponte, Audiomack co-founder and CMO. “Our partnership with Soundcharts helps make that possible, giving artists the recognition they deserve and amplifying the global impact of African music.”

The global streaming service now provides professional analytics to genre pros around the world to help Audiomack listeners be among the first to discover the next big sound.
New York, NY, October 22, 2025 – Audiomack, the global music streaming and discovery platform, today announced advanced features for Audiomack for Tastemakers, the company’s global curatorial program, in the newest version of its iOS app. This update equips select music curators around the world, known as Tastemakers, with professional-grade analytics to track and optimize their playlist performance, reinforcing Audiomack’s commitment to highlighting new and emerging acts, no matter where they are.
The Audiomack for Tastemakers app provides curators, now on both iOS and on the previously-introduced Android app, with comprehensive performance metrics including Stream Impact, Save Impact, Finish Rate, Engagement Stats, 30-second Stream Rate, and seven-day performance snapshots, among other metrics. These tools enable Tastemakers to understand how their playlists resonate with listeners and refine their curation strategies in real time.
Audiomack's Tastemakers program recognizes that meaningful music discovery requires a human touch. The company's curators span the globe, from dance halls in Jamaica to underground scenes across Africa, and in communities worldwide, identifying emerging sounds that AI or algorithms might never surface.
"I started Audiomack because I'm a music fan and passionate about discovering music. As we’ve grown and helped break new artists around the world, we’ve found that a common trait of an Audiomack listener is that they, too, want to lean in and be a part of discovering the next big artist or sound," said David Ponte, Co-Founder and CMO of Audiomack. “By providing our listeners with carefully curated playlists from our Tastemakers, we ensure they always have their finger on the pulse of new music and emerging artists.”
Since launching the beta program in late 2024, Audiomack has accepted more than 350 new playlist Tastemakers. These curators receive a verified badge on the platform, and their playlists enjoy enhanced visibility on their Audiomack profiles, further increasing their impact.
Aspiring Tastemakers can apply to be accepted into the program by completing the steps found at the application link.

More and more Africans are listening to African music, especially to artists who hail from their home country, and listening via Audiomack. From Tanzania to Senegal, Mali to Liberia, the music service dominates the top of the charts across the continent, holding tight to the #1 Music app spot in 17 countries.
Yet this is about more than app downloads and user numbers; it’s about a seachange in listening habits, an influx of energy into local scenes and emerging artists. Audiomack’s Top 100 Charts show how local sounds are gaining major ground with music fans, a transformative shift for musicmakers and music lovers.
“Our Top 100 charts reflect how different countries are listening to their own music, demonstrating that all creators in Africa now have access to a platform that allows them to distribute their own music,” explains Charlotte Bwana, Vice President, Marketing at Audiomack. “These charts are more than numbers, they’re a reflection of identity, culture, and pride. In Tanzania, Rwanda, Senegal, Mali, and Liberia, the Weekly Top 100 belongs to hometown heroes, proof that these local scenes are alive with creativity and shaping the rhythms that define Africa’s soundscape.”
By developing locally tailored discovery interfaces, Audiomack has provided editorial visibility to emerging artists through a human-curated approach, in countries distanced from the curatorial ecosystems of many DSPs. In developing and historically overlooked markets, local artists have access to playlists that showcase their unique sounds with an intentional focus on spotlighting rising talent. Audiomack has also invested in highlighting regional scenes and genre movements through social media storytelling via their series "Scenes." Scenes has included the coverage of nascent genres such as the Kompa movement in Tanzania and the growing Drill scene in Eastern Nigeria, moments often underrepresented in mainstream music media.
Audiomack's Artist Watch series has become a key platform for identifying and amplifying standout acts, providing focused exposure to artists who are shaping the next wave of African music, from South Sudan to Mali. Hip-hop, in particular, has been a central area of emphasis. “Through genre-focused playlists, we’ve mapped domestic rap scenes from blossoming scenes like Rwanda and Cameroon, offering exposure and DSP-level support to artists who previously lacked access to such infrastructure,” Bwana says.
Artists are also taking note, feeling the lift Audiomack is providing and how the service has changed the game for emerging and established artists by bringing their music to broader regional fanbases and to the rest of the world. “Audiomack has given Malian rap real visibility,” notes rapper 2DS. “Today, our music is spreading faster and further, and that's motivating a whole generation of artists. Malian rap now has its place on the map, and that changes everything.”
“Galsen Rap (Senegalese rap) has always been a platform of expression for the voiceless in Senegal. Audiomack has taken on a special role in this dynamic. It is one of the most widely used platforms by our audience, not only because it is easily accessible but also because it has managed to build a strong connection with the local scene,” explains Senegalese rap icon Oothentik Zeus. “Thanks to playlists entirely dedicated to Galsen Rap, West African rap, and African rap, Audiomack gives artists a real opportunity for visibility. The work of their curators, who are approachable and responsive, creates a direct link between the platform, the artists, and the audience. Audiomack continues to support the growth of Galsen Rap beyond our borders.”
Within countries, Audiomack is also helping local artists gain traction and win over fans on the homefront. “Audiomack has significantly transformed the music landscape in Rwanda. In the past, our charts were largely dominated by Nigerian and Tanzanian artists, but today we are witnessing a remarkable shift where even upcoming local talents are charting,” reflects soulful artist Kevin Kade. “This demonstrates the platform’s crucial role in amplifying Rwandan voices and providing visibility to young artists who previously had limited opportunities.”
Liberia’s JZyNo agrees, calling digital Audiomack the “digital powerhouse of Liberian music,” while Tanzanian producer Ayo Lizer explains that Audiomack “...support upcoming talent if the music is good, it gets a platform. Their Trending section is proof of this, because you’ll often see fresh new names rising there,” a fact that has boosted the confidence of young, up-and-coming talent in Tanzania.
It’s been a similar experience for Nigerian pop artist Ayo Maff, who was featured by Audiomack’s You Need to Hear series in June of 2024, and says most of his fanbase finds his music on the platform. “On the streets many do not have much, it actually does not take much to make an ordinary person on the streets happy; music is one of them, and how Audiomack has made my music easy to access, my people who don’t have much don’t need much to stream my music, hear my story and live my experience like it is theirs,” says Maff.
Even in markets that face tremendous challenges, Audiomack is making an impact. “For artists like me in South Sudan,” says singer-songwriter Milton Kizzy. “Audiomack has been a blessing. It gave us a space to showcase our music without needing huge budgets or industry connections. What makes Audiomack special is that it’s free, accessible, and trusted by the people. It's now the biggest streaming platform in South Sudan. It’s opening doors for a new generation of talent.”
