With a huge population, the potential audience for digital music services is massive. In 2023, <a href=\"https:\/\/luminatedata.com\/reports\/yearend-music-industry-report\/\">India came second in the world for the number for overall song streams<\/a>. With over 1 trillion songs streamed for the year, India was second only to the United States just over 1.45 trillion streams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, India far outpaced the US for year-on-year growth of streams. India gained 464 billion more streams in 2023 than the year before. The United States came second, with a drastically lower volume of 184 billion new streams for the year. This represents the established music streaming audience in the US, whilst India is very much still taking up music streaming in a big way. With continued growth, India is prepped to be the world&#8217;s leading streaming market in terms of consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"GA72hMFP23\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/is-india-the-worlds-biggest-music-streaming-market\/\">Is India the world&#8217;s biggest music streaming market?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Is India the world&#8217;s biggest music streaming market?&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/is-india-the-worlds-biggest-music-streaming-market\/embed\/#?secret=GA72hMFP23\" data-secret=\"GA72hMFP23\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>2023 was an explosive year for music<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year was the biggest on record for music consumption. Over 7 trillion songs were streamed around the world according to <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/over-7-trillion-songs-were-streamed-in-2023\/\">Luminate&#8217;s 2023 music report<\/a>. It saw the continued breakout of regional music, as the dominance of English-language music shrank in favour of Spanish-language artists, Korean music, and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the UK, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) reported music industry growth for the 9th year in a row. Female artists had a record breaking year, making up a larger percentage of the top tracks in 2023 than ever before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"ngzclGjzfc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/over-7-trillion-songs-were-streamed-in-2023\/\">Over 7 trillion songs were streamed in 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Over 7 trillion songs were streamed in 2023&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/over-7-trillion-songs-were-streamed-in-2023\/embed\/#?secret=ngzclGjzfc\" data-secret=\"ngzclGjzfc\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"jMF3l2Tffx\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-consumers-listened-to-music-in-the-us-2023\/\">How consumers listened to music in the US 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How consumers listened to music in the US 2023&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-consumers-listened-to-music-in-the-us-2023\/embed\/#?secret=jMF3l2Tffx\" data-secret=\"jMF3l2Tffx\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"fidOPDGIRW\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-british-music-grew-in-2023-9-years-of-growth\/\">How British music grew in 2023: 9 years of growth<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How British music grew in 2023: 9 years of growth&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-british-music-grew-in-2023-9-years-of-growth\/embed\/#?secret=fidOPDGIRW\" data-secret=\"fidOPDGIRW\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"PCNcD62wkO\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/2023-was-a-record-year-for-women-in-music-in-the-uk\/\">2023 was a record year for women in music in the UK<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;2023 was a record year for women in music in the UK&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/2023-was-a-record-year-for-women-in-music-in-the-uk\/embed\/#?secret=PCNcD62wkO\" data-secret=\"PCNcD62wkO\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>New songs available in the public domain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, a new selection of songs enter the public domain.

They are now working with Warner And Universal artists to fulfil the new payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a recent interview, Deezer CEO Jeronimo Folguiera revealed a new dimension. He said that users who stream over 1,000 songs in a month will have their influence of revenue distribution capped. This is to prevent the possibility of fraud streaming redirecting revenues from unrealistic listening habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"dllgYs5nBM\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/deezers-ceo-reveals-new-dimension-to-royalty-changes\/\">Deezer&#8217;s CEO reveals new dimension to royalty changes<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Deezer&#8217;s CEO reveals new dimension to royalty changes&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/deezers-ceo-reveals-new-dimension-to-royalty-changes\/embed\/#?secret=dllgYs5nBM\" data-secret=\"dllgYs5nBM\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Nearly 200 million music creators predicted by 2030<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Making music is easier than ever thanks to the proliferation of digital music creation software. Not only do these programs make it easy to start putting music together, even for amateurs, but they make it accessible without the need for elaborate programs or the power of a recording studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark Mulligan of MIDiA Research predicts a huge rise in music creation as free apps like BandLab makes it easy for anyone to create music and share it with the world. He is predicting that there will be 198.2 million music creators by the year 2030. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"K096T7mEYF\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/nearly-200-million-music-creators-predicted-by-2030\/\">Nearly 200 million music creators predicted by 2030<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Nearly 200 million music creators predicted by 2030&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/nearly-200-million-music-creators-predicted-by-2030\/embed\/#?secret=K096T7mEYF\" data-secret=\"K096T7mEYF\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>SoundCloud prepare to sell for over $1 billion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/what-is-soundcloud\/\">SoundCloud<\/a>&#8216;s two biggest investors, Raine Group and Temasek Holdings, are gearing up for a sale of the music platform.
