  Hi there –

  It is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress blogs. But a lot of the things that people use plugins for are already built-in on WordPress.com, so they aren’t necessary.

  We don’t have a Songkick widget, but if Songkick offers a plain HTML widget, you can use a Text Widget for that. The code can’t contain any of the following:

  If it does, you can still mock up a widget by uploading an image for it to your Media Library and then using a Text Widget to link that image to your Songkick profile and display it in your sidebar.

  Let me know if you have further questions!
