SounClick is a music-based social community. It offers bands, artists and music labels a platform for self-promotion. Songs can be streamed, downloaded in MP3 format, sold through the store, or licensed to others. SoundClick compiles daily charts for various genres, based on how many times a particular track is played. The social-network offers profile pages with friends networking, photo, video, blogs, and user stations. Soundclick has also revolutionized hip-hop production by allowing many unheard of producers to get their music on the web. SoundClick was founded in 1997 by twin brothers Tanju and Tolgar Canli. The site initially worked with RealAudio audio streams, and switched later to the now prevailing MP3 file format for audio streams and downloads. SoundClick was incorporated in 1999 in California by law firm Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. In 2007 SoundClick launched its own social network. The site celebrated its 10 year anniversary on August 13, 2007. Today SoundClick reports 2.5 million songs, 325,000 bands and artists, and 3 million registered members. . SoundClick is a privately held company.
