Fans are the backbone of an artist\u2019s journey, and this tool acknowledges their early and continued support in a visible, interactive way.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The feature takes centre-stage on an artist\u2019s track page via the web and includes two key charts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>First fans<\/strong>: These are the listeners who played and liked a track the most before anyone else. Names are displayed in order of plays during the first week.<\/li><li><strong>Top Fans<\/strong>: This list showcases the most devoted listeners- those who have played a track the most over time, and kept it on repeat.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By spotlighting these listeners, artists can foster deeper relationships with their most loyal fans, strengthening long-term engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The importance of artists and fans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-build-superfans-the-secret-to-sustaining-your-music-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Superfans <\/a>play a crucial role in an artist\u2019s success, with industry insights emphasising the importance of direct-to-fan relationships. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/streaming-increase-superfans-and-gen-z-a-brief-overview-of-luminates-2024-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Luminate reports <\/a>that 63% of first-week physical album sales for 2024\u2019s top 200 albums in the US came from direct-to-fan engagement. Additionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/luminatedata.com\/reports\/yearend-music-industry-report-2024\/?mkt_tok=MzE5LVNBUC0xMDQAAAGYCXX8MvfBbawtggWUveNtfjW6Yv7h5kW98xVjP-B1UML3P-oETFjYCGacw7s0EzWLDBWB-XMs539GYKtb1aCLXkWGe7Us8y7_6rve8ko&amp;aliId=eyJpIjoiUDVMWkdhenkyK2dPQ3BFVCIsInQiOiJjVTl3Q09nWmRNKzE4MGhncGdLeWhBPT0ifQ%253D%253D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">90% of superfans<\/a> interact with artists through live performances, demonstrating the power of strong fan connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For artists, this feature is a powerful tool for recognising and nurturing their most dedicated listeners early on. Strengthening these connections can lead to increased music sales, merch purchases, and live show attendance- all of which are essential to long-term career sustainability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For fans, it\u2019s an opportunity to receive recognition for their support. Appearing on an artist\u2019s \u2018Fan Recognition\u2019 list solidifies their connection with their favourite musicians, reinforcing their role in the artist\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"TksKTUwh6D\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-build-superfans-the-secret-to-sustaining-your-music-career\/\">How to build superfans: The secret to sustaining your music career<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How to build superfans: The secret to sustaining your music career&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-build-superfans-the-secret-to-sustaining-your-music-career\/embed\/#?secret=TksKTUwh6D\" data-secret=\"TksKTUwh6D\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Who&#8217;s eligible?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To appear on an artist\u2019s \u2018Fan Recognition\u2019 list, fans must meet certain criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Be aged 18 or older<\/li><li>Have liked the track and followed the artist<\/li><li>Have a username, profile picture, and a verified email address<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans also have the option to opt out of the programme if they prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Enhancing fan engagement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SoundCloud\u2019s \u2018Fan Recognition\u2019 feature enhances artist-fan interactions by acknowledging the most dedicated supporters.
