Japan generated half a billion dollars from music streaming subscriptions and saw streaming revenues rise 25% in 2022.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2022 <\/a>saw record total sales, rising above 300 billion yen for the first time in four years. And music streaming\u2019s share of the market grew to 88%, up 125% from 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the music streaming sector revenue growth of 19% came from subscriptions to streaming platforms like Apple Music<\/a> and Spotify<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
