PopFiltr started with a clear intention: sharing the best new tracks with a small community of passionate listeners.
That initial focus caught on, drawing millions and turning a modest curation effort into the world’s largest independent channel for discovering remarkable music. As the audience grew—seven million subscribers and tens of millions of listeners—our role expanded. We became a platform that not only surfaces what’s next, but also shapes how music is discussed, documented, and understood.
Today, PopFiltr sparks the conversation. Our reporting explores the stories that matter, our interviews give voice to those changing the industry, and our New Music Friday helps define which songs rise above the noise. MusicWire, our dedicated press release service, connects creators with the audiences who crave their work. Artists rely on it to share defining moments—from album releases to global tours—directly with those who want to hear them.
This journey began with a few songs and a vision. It continues with a community that trusts us to navigate conversation forward.
