2017 was a successful year for SoundCloud.

On their road to financial solvency, SoundCloud boss Kerry Trainor claimed last year that the streaming company generated more than $100m in 2017, and it turns out he was good as his word – according to Music Business Worldwide.

Global revenues in the calendar year hit €90.7m ($102m), increasing 80% on the €50.3m it posted in 2016. Brightest sign for the company within its 2017 accounts : a significant improvement in its annual operating loss, which narrowed by 27% to €51.4m ($58m) – compared with €70.5m in 2016.

Among others, these numbers can be explained by the $170m funding round led by Singapore-based Temasek and US-based The Raine Group, in summer 2017, while co-founder Alex Ljung stepped down as CEO to make way for former Vimeo CEO Kerry Trainor.
