Can someone please ask me what are promoted tracks?
Clicking in the
link in the search result lead me to a message:
This Help Center article is no longer available. Find an answer by typing keywords in the search bar above.
Using Soundcloud's search result, I asked "What are promoted tracks" (without quotes) and nope. At least the the error message gave me the impression that it's "404 Not Found" and I couldn't find a way to contact them to have the link taken out of the Google search index.

Greetings,
From the text at
http://listenanddiscover.help.soundclou ... w-it-works :
Promoted tracks
Promoted tracks enable artists, labels and brands to share their content in the Streams of those who aren't following them to get their name and sound out to a broader audience. These are similar to promoted posts or sponsored content found on other social media sites.
Please note: Promoted tracks are currently only available to On SoundCloud Premier Partners and brand partners. However, there are other ways you can promote yourself within the SoundCloud community.
HTH,

Thanks!
Another question: Is there any possibility to prevent promoted tracks from shown in my stream? I don't care for vocals in music.

Well, it should be possible to write an ad-blocker rule for tracks with a "Promoted Track" label. Ublock Origin, for example, has an "element picker" tool that'll let you add your own ad blocking rules. I don't know if it'd work for this. I haven't bothered because I don't use soundcloud that much, and there's A LOT OF ANNOYING MUSIC* on there besides promoted tracks!
