NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
If you love to soundtrack your life, you’re not alone, as a new report has suggested we’re listening to more music than ever before.
The time spent listening to music globally has increased to 20.1 hours per week, up from 18.1 hours per week in 2021, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).
That works out to an extra 34 three-minute songs per week.
While the annual Engaging With Music report wasn’t carried out in 2020 due to the pandemic, in 2019, it showed 18 hours of listening per week.
