Wud Records: 20 Most Played Tracks of 2024

20 Most Played Tracks of 2024

We thought it might be fun to make two playlists of the 20 most played tracks of 2024, one each for SoundCloud and Bandcamp. We felt that such playlists would enable fans of our bands to hear what’s been hot and to have the opportunity to enjoy listening to some of our most popular tracks of recent times.

SoundCloud

Wud Records enjoyed a good year on SoundCloud, the best in fact since 2021. Streaming activity was up over 100% on 2023, and exceeded the two previous years combined. We had a net gain of around 200 new followers overall, ending the year with just under 3950 followers. It is very pleasing that more new fans across the world are discovering and enjoying the great music made by our amazing artists.

Making a SoundCloud playlist of the tracks that were popular there is easily done. To listen to the 20 Most Played Tracks of 2024 playlist at the SoundCloud website, simply click here to open that page in a new tab.

The 20 Most Played Tracks of 2024 was dominated by Pok the Bard. His dominance was so strong that all six of his tracks released to SoundCloud so far appear in the top eight, including all of the year’s top five. Bravo!

All six songs were new to SoundCloud in 2024 and appear on Pok‘s growing Anthology album.

There will be further songs from Pok‘s Anthology album coming to SoundCloud over the coming year. More new songs will be completed and some of the old ones will receive their sonic upgrade, now that our engineers can accurately hear how they sound in our studios. It really helps, does that.

Dark Company achieved three of the top twenty songs, with all of them coming from their work-in-progress A for Acronym album – specifically, the first CD of that triple album, which has the title SNAFU.

The Bastard Sons of Dennis enjoyed having five of the top twenty songs, all of which are from their Cosy Lube Turtle album of Blue Oyster Cult covers.

Appearing alongside Pok, Dark Company and The Bastard Sons of Dennis in 2024, we see Flicker with three instrumentals, Mark Drower and the Everyones with two songs, and The Subterraineans with one song. This means that all four active bands we have on SoundCloud are represented, as well as two legacy acts.

All three of the Flicker tracks are wonderful instrumentals from their much-loved album At Least 1000 Words. We managed to remaster and re-release this fantastic album in 2023 following our long awaited control room upgrade.

We are working on more tracks for Flicker’s second album, HappySad, and hope to bring some of them to you before long.

It is worth noting that these are only the most streamed tracks at SoundCloud, rather than the most popular. The total amounts of likes, reposts and comments have been ignored. Taking these other factors into consideration would inevitably yield different results.

Bandcamp

Bandcamp is the platform with the best ethos in the business. If you are not a member yet, it’s time to join.

One of the great features of Bandcamp is its Communities. You can join ours by clicking here. ;-)

It’s been a reasonable year for Wud Records on Bandcamp. Overall in 2024, both our streams and sales were down very slightly compared to 2023. The best-selling album was Flicker‘s At Least 1000 Words, and the best selling song was Dark Company‘s Medicines, from the band’s Rage in Heaven album.

The 2024 chart of most streamed tracks on Bandcamp sees a good spread of different artists, with no particular act claiming domination for the year’s Bandcamp streams. Pok took five of the twenty available spots, Dark Company two, Mark Drower and the Everyones three, Flicker four, and there was one each for Wud, The Ug Brothers, The Bastard Sons of Dennis, Laughing Sun, Alien Heat and The Subterraineans.

For Bandcamp we tried to use the BNDCMPR website to create a playlist of the 20 most played songs of 2024, but it no longer seems to work as it should, which is a great shame.

We have also created some sort of playlist here, within this very news post, for your listening pleasure. Simply clicking on the links below will allow you to play the various tracks.
