TIDAL adds Contributor Mixes to aid discovery and spotlight the behind-the-scenes creatives with an in-depth look into their discographies, while History Mixes give members a chance to dive into their own listening history on the platform. Both mixes provide TIDAL members with a curated selection of playlists based on listening patterns, enhancing a personalised experience while using TIDAL.
TIDAL members will receive a curated selection of contributor playlists based on their listening patterns featuring songs from the contributor’s discography. Contributor mixes will also be available on select artists pages for additional discovery opportunities. Each mix can range across multiple contributors such as Swizz Beatz, Max Martin, Tainy and Missy Elliott as well as different genres including hip-hop, pop, jazz, rock, soul and R&B. All mixes will feature between 25-50 of an artist’s most popular written or produced tracks.
Contributor Mixes follow the 2019 release of TIDAL’s interactive credits feature which spotlights those instrumental in bringing a song to life – from unheralded background singers and lyricists to producers and mixing engineers. Each playlist adds another dimension of discovery and allows members to appreciate music in new ways by exploring the innovators behind some of their favourite songs.

History Mixes
History Mixes showcase users’ musical archives with three types of playlists, ‘All Time,’ ‘Yearly’ and ‘Monthly’ highlighting their most streamed tracks, as far back as 2018.
