  • YouTube has announced that it’s slowly rolling out the ability to vote on songs in playlists.
  • Upvoting a song pushes it up on the playlist, allowing it to be played sooner.
  • The feature requires you to make an unlisted or public playlist, and anyone with the link can vote on the songs.

YouTube allows users to make collaborative playlists, letting them invite friends and loved ones to craft the ideal soundtrack. Now, the company has revealed that it’s rolling out the ability to vote on songs in playlists too.

YouTube announced on its own platform and on social media that it’s “gradually” rolling out voting on playlists. Upvoting a song on a playlist pushes it up on the list, allowing it to be heard sooner. This voting option is separate from the standard like/dislike buttons.
