European music is seeing powerful growth and Europeans are listening to themselves more as a lot of the growth comes from close to home.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Music in Europe is growing, as Spotify<\/a> reveal that listens to artists in the European Union have grown by 3x in six years. That’s according to Spotify’s Loud and Clear report, a report focusing on their successes in specific countries and regions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growth of consumption in European artists is being helped by locals. According to the report, Europeans are listening to more music from Europe. Spotify reveal that 44% of the royalties generated in the EU are going to artists within the European Union. According to Spotify, that’s the highest percentage since they started tracking this data in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

European artists made an astonishing \u20ac1.5 billion on Spotify in 23, growth of 16% year-on-year. That’s a figure that is 3x higher than it was 6 years ago in 2017. Over 25,000 European artists earned more than \u20ac5,000 on Spotify last year, and over 15,000 European artists generated more than \u20ac10,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spotify will no doubt be using this report to back up their importance in the region for artists. With recent tensions in France over a new streaming tax<\/a>, Spotify raised their prices to pass the cost on to users<\/a>. With a similar cost recently introduced in Canada, Spotify may well be using their regional Loud & Clear reports to position them strongly in arguments against discouraging their services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
