๐Ÿ“ˆ Udio Trending Algorithm

๐Ÿ”น Where Songs Can Appear

On desktop, youโ€™ll see: Upper Trending, Top Tracks (This Week), and Lower Trending (More Tracks for You). On mobile, only Lower Trending shows up.

๐Ÿ”ธ Lower Trending Basics

Aim for this to get noticed by casual listeners. Freshness Rule: Only tracks under 5 days old can show here. One-Track Limit: Udio usually picks one song per creator for Lower Trending. If you drop multiple tracks in the same 5-day window, only one (or none) gets featured. Check Exact Age: Go to your trackโ€™s details, hover over the creation date (top-right), and read the timestamp in your local time. Udio uses that for โ€œageโ€, not the publish time. (Udio rounds 4.5 to 5.5 days for display to โ€œ5dโ€.)

โžก๏ธ Release Strategy

Space Releases by 5 Days: Publish new songs every 5 days . If an older track isnโ€™t popping:

  1. Unpublish the underperformer.

  2. Publish your new track to let it trend.

  3. After the older track is 5 days, you can republish it without messing up your new songโ€™s momentum.

๐Ÿ”น Upper Trending Overview

Uses a different set of signals (likes, plays, engagement), and the track needs to be under 5 days old to surface here, too.

๐Ÿงญ Quick Tips

Monitor Age Closely to avoid overlapping your own releases. Focus on Engagement (likes, shares) to boost chances in Upper Trending.
