    More and more people are adopting streaming as their primary source of music. Streaming activity was up about 13.4 per cent from 2021 with the annual number of on-demand audio streams of music hitting 100 billion for the first time. That’s below the global increase of 22.6 per cent (3.4 trillion songs!), but still quite healthy. There are, however,...

    Remember when iTunes was the future of music? Instead of buying CDs or vinyl, we’d all be getting our music by buying digital files of albums and individual songs.

    A few years ago, the thinking was, “Why buy a CD when I can buy the download of the same album for 10 bucks?” Now it’s, “Why buy a CD when I can stream the album for almost nothing?” Overall CD sales dropped 15 per cent to 2.3 million units. Not dead, but certainly a little tired. It is possible, however, that some quarters of the population will c...

    We didn’t buy as much new vinyl this year as we did in 2021 with sales dropping 2.3 per cent.

    In music industry parlance, “catalogue music” is anything older than two years. With the ability to choose from about 100 million songs right from your phone, people are obviously going further afield with their musical explorations. Catalogue songs ate up 72 per cent of our consumption in 2022, an increase of 16 per cent over the previous year. So...

    Bad Bunny was a monster in 2022 with 99 per cent of all his songs being consumed digitally. Sales of any sort were negligible. Meanwhile, Swifties got their Taylor Swift in a number of ways: Streaming (71 per cent), vinyl (13 per cent), and digital albums (six per cent).

    If you’re a fan of hip-hop and rap, chances are you did most of your listening via social media video on TikTok, followed by streaming audio, and streaming video. Country fans still love the CD and the radio while pop fans stream and use TikTok. Rock fans also love their CDs with vinyl and radio close behind.
