Pitchfork Subscribers Can Now Share Their Ratings as Cards

Pitchfork subscribers can now share the ratings and short written impressions they add to the site as neatly designed cards. The music publication announced the feature on 30 October 2026.

The cards are made from a subscriber's own entries. Each one shows a rating or impression that the reader has left on an album, set out in a format built for social media and other places where people post what they are listening to.

The steps are short. A subscriber opens "My Account", selects a review they have left, and presses the share button at the bottom of the page. The card can then be shared from there.

The feature builds on the subscription Pitchfork launched earlier in the year. Announcing it in January, the publication said subscribers could score albums themselves on a scale from 0.0 to 10, and could comment on its reviews. The subscription costs $5 a month, and the publication said it was designed to let readers take part in dialogue with its critics and with each other.

For subscribers, the change means a score set on the site no longer has to stay there. Pitchfork's staff critics still write the reviews the publication runs. The new cards give readers a way to show their own side of the conversation outside the site.
