Amazon Music to overtake Pandora as No. 2 US music streamer this year

According to estimates from Insider Intelligence (previously eMarketer), Amazon Music will surpass Pandora this year to become the music streamer with the second most number of users in the U.S. Notably, this study includes users on both paid and ad-supported plans for these services — so, while Apple Music has an estimated 38.2 million subscribers, compared to Amazon Music’s 52.6 million or Pandora’s 49.1 million, none of Apple’s subscribers are on a free, ad-supported plan (though they could, of course, be on a free trial).

Amazon Music is estimated to grow 5.3% year over year, the forecast claims, while Pandora has continued to lose users since 2017 — the SiriusXM-owned streamer’s user base is expected to decline by 6.7% in 2022. A representative from Pandora declined to comment on the new report, but said that Pandora is the leading ad-supported audio streaming service in the U.S. According to its most recent report, Pandora currently has 52.3 million users, down from 58.9 million the prior year.

And when it comes to paid subscribers, Pandora lags far behind its competitors, per Insider Intelligence estimates from last year. (Below).

Spotify remains the number one U.S. music streamer by a wide margin, with 180 million premium subscribers globally, and 406 million monthly active users across both paid and free plans. According to Spotify’s own reports, there are about 93.38 million active users in North America, including 28.8 million paid subscribers. Since Spotify’s numbers don’t narrow down subscriber numbers by country, it’s hard to directly compare the size

Why I’m using a credit facility to grow my startup

  Why I’m using a credit facility to grow my startup Brent Jackson @bjackson  /  9:16 PM GMT+1 • February 25, 2022 Image Credits:  Henrik Sorensen  (opens in a new window) / Getty Images Brent Jackson Contributor Brent Jackson  is the founder and CEO of  Torpago . When it comes  to financing, startups and established organizations will have vastly different experiences. Traditional financing may not always be available to high-growth startups, and even when it is, it often depends on the founder’s personal financial picture and their company’s existing revenue. While larger companies can turn to banks and other financial institutions, new founders often have to turn to alternative sources of financing to grow their companies.
