my songs on SC have got way more views than my BC albums.
This has kind of gone to shit recently. In the last couple of years the tracks I've uploaded to SC have got a handful of plays each at best.

in the three years since this thread was updated it has really gone downhill as a platform, the hyperactive copyright enforcement on samples, the awful search functionality, the autoplay of seemingly random tracks

soundcloud engagement is continuously dwindling away but i'm not sure mixcloud is picking up any of the slack.
personally speaking, all the listens i have 'lost' on my label soundcloud have simply transferred to my bandcamp, though of course that is no use for mixes etc.

Mixcloud has it’s own set of problems IMO, not least the inability of rewinding if you don’t have a subscription.

mixcloud and bandcamp do two different jobs, and soundcloud tried unsuccessfully to do both, I have had uploads rejected from mixcloud for being too short, "but that's literally every recording from 1860" I said, they didn't seem to know what to say to that.
