Music Streaming in the Creative Economy -
summary
Australia hosts about 23 music streaming services and Pandora claims over 300 million registered users in the US with roughly 90 million daily listeners and nearly 4 million in ANZ, adding ~20,000 registered users per week. Pandora uses the Music Genome Project—human analysts tag tracks with 450 attributes—to generate personalized radio and powers an artist marketing platform that shows fan locations and tastes. A recent trial with Odessa lets bands sell tickets via Pandora and sold out pre-sale shows before general sale, proving direct-to-fan monetization works.
