Walmart Soundcheck was a series of musical performances and interviews released exclusively by Walmart, starting in 2006. Each recording consisted of a four-to-six-song set performed live, plus an interview, and was released as a digital album as well as played on televisions inside Walmart retail stores.[1][2] The debut performances for the series were by rock bands Switchfoot and Yellowcard.[3] Walmart later began a special series called Risers for less established artists.

In 2013 the Now That's What I Call Music! series released a full album of Soundcheck songs titled Now That's What I Call Soundcheck.[4]
