SCOUT
Hear an artist or track early? Scout it and build a record of what you backed before the wider audience arrived.

POWER CHARTS + TRACK BATTLES
Follow movement across countries, genres and sub-genres. See what is gaining momentum and put tracks head-to-head in battles where listeners choose.

LOCAL MUSIC SCENES
Scenes Heat turns real listening activity into a local signal so you can see what is rising around you. Browse music events, see what is happening in your city, RSVP and share the night with friends.

FOLLOW ARTISTS. GET CLOSER.
Streaming is only the start.

BUILT AROUND WHAT IS MOVING NOW
BTR is not built around one country, one chart or one sound. Explore local and global scenes and find artists you may be hearing for the first time — before everyone else does.

From rap and drill to Afrobeats, Amapiano, R&B, dancehall and electronic music, BTR is designed around discovery, streaming, community and direct artist connection.
